DESCRIPTION
     The  markdown format supported in this implementation includes Pandoc-style
     header and inline <style> blocks, and the standard markdown(3) functions do
     not provide access to the data provided  by  either  of  those  extensions.
     These  functions  give  you access to that data, plus they provide a finer-
     grained way of converting Markdown documents into HTML.

     Given a MMIOT* generated by mkd_in() or  mkd_string(),  mkd_compile()  com-
     piles the document into <style>, Pandoc, and html sections.

     Once  compiled,  the document can be examined and written by the mkd_css(),
     mkd_document(), mkd_generatecss(),  mkd_generatehtml(),  mkd_generatetoc(),
     mkd_toc(),    mkd_xhtmlpage(),   mkd_doc_title(),	 mkd_doc_author(),   and
     mkd_doc_date() functions.

     mkd_css() allocates a string and populates it  with  any  <style>	sections
     provided  in the document, mkd_generatecss() writes any <style> sections to
     the output, mkd_document() points text to the text of the document and  re-
     turns  the  size of the document, mkd_generatehtml() writes the rest of the
     document	to   the   output,   and   mkd_doc_title(),    mkd_doc_author(),
     mkd_doc_date() are used to read the contents of a Pandoc header, if any.

     mkd_xhtmlpage()  writes  a xhtml page containing the document.  The regular
     set of flags can be passed.

     mkd_toc() writes a document outline, in the form of a collection of  nested
     lists  with  links  to each header in the document, into a string allocated
     with malloc(), and returns the size.

     mkd_generatetoc() is like mkd_toc(), except that  it  writes  the	document
     outline to the given FILE* argument.

     mkd_cleanup() deletes a MMIOT* after processing is done.

     mkd_compile() accepts the same flags that markdown() and mkd_string() do;
     MKD_NOIMAGE	  Do  not  process  `![]' and remove <img> tags from the
			  output.
     MKD_NOLINKS	  Do not process `[]' and remove <a> tags from the  out-
			  put.
     MKD_NOPANTS	  Do   not  do	Smartypants-style  mangling  of  quotes,
			  dashes, or ellipses.
     MKD_TAGTEXT	  Process the input as if you were inside  a  html  tag.
			  This	means  that  no html tags will be generated, and
			  mkd_compile() will attempt  to  escape  anything  that
			  might terribly confuse a web browser.
     MKD_NO_EXT 	  Do  not  process  any  markdown  pseudo-protocols when
			  handing [][] links.
     MKD_NOHEADER	  Do not attempt to parse any Pandoc-style headers.
     MKD_TOC		  Label all headers for use with  the  mkd_generatetoc()
			  function.
     MKD_1_COMPAT	  MarkdownTest_1.0  compatibility  flag;  trim	trailing
			  spaces from the first line of code blocks and  disable
			  implicit reference links.
     MKD_NOSTRIKETHROUGH  Disable strikethrough support.

RETURN VALUES
     The  function  mkd_compile()  returns 1 in the case of success, or 0 if the
     document is already compiled.  The function mkd_generatecss()  returns  the
     number  of  bytes	written  in  the case of success, or EOF if an error oc-
     curred.  The function mkd_generatehtml() returns 0 on success, -1 on  fail-
     ure.
