smi(1) smi General Commands Manual smi(1) NAME smi - Simple Markup Interpreter / Filter for simple markup SYNTAX smi [ -h -n -v ] Input Output smi [ -h -n -v ] InFile > OutFile DESCRIPTION The smi interpreter, assumes the first argument (Input, or InFile) contains simple markup -- Markdown, for example. smi will return that Input, or InFile in HTML format. Output, if not spec- ified, will be to STDOUT. Which can be piped to something, or redirected, as desired. If Input is formatted in HTML markup, smi will return the meta-characters as their entities -- nice, if you'd like to display Markup in HTML <code> blocks. Given this fact, one might also consider smi a Fil- ter, as well. Possible use cases, are quite broad, and can't possibly be fully deacribed here. OPTIONS -h Help; Displays usage options. -n Strict Mode; escape HTML strictly (input). --v Version; Output version information, and exit. FILES If no Outfile is given, Output is sent to standard output. The Input, and Output are processed strictly serially; consequently smi may be used in pipe-lines. EXAMPLES Create a web page, from one written in Markdown: smi Markdown.txt > Markdown.html Take the HTML file generated above, and make the output suitable for dis- playing within a <code> block on your web pages: smi -n Maekdown.html > Markdown.code BUGS Strictly speaking, Markdown syntax still needs better interpretation. The only thing missing in this area, is handling of <cite>. Other than that; I am aware of no bugs. <cite>, and better documentation will be addressed in the next version.
