DESCRIPTION

32       Markdown is a text-to-HTML filter; it translates an easy-to-read /
33       easy-to-write structured text format into HTML. Markdown's text format
34       is most similar to that of plain text email, and supports features such
35       as headers, *emphasis*, code blocks, blockquotes, and links.
36
37       Markdown's syntax is designed not as a generic markup language, but
38       specifically to serve as a front-end to (X)HTML. You can use span-level
39       HTML tags anywhere in a Markdown document, and you can use block level
40       HTML tags ("<div>", "<table>" etc.). Note that by default Markdown
41       isn't interpreted in HTML block-level elements, unless you add a
42       "markdown=1"" attribute to the element. See Text::Markdown for details.
43
44       This module implements the MultiMarkdown markdown syntax extensions
45       from:
46
47           http://fletcherpenney.net/multimarkdown/
48

SYNTAX

50       For more information about (original) Markdown's syntax, see:
51
52           http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/
53
54       This module implements MultiMarkdown, which is an extension to
55       Markdown..
56
57       The extension is documented at:
58
59           http://fletcherpenney.net/multimarkdown/
60
61       and borrows from php-markdown, which lives at:
62
63           http://michelf.com/projects/php-markdown/extra/
64
65       This documentation is going to be moved/copied into this module for
66       clearer reading in a future release..

OPTIONS

69       MultiMarkdown supports a number of options to it's processor which
70       control the behaviour of the output document.
71
72       These options can be supplied to the constructor, on in a hash with the
73       individual calls to the markdown method.  See the synopsis for examples
74       of both of the above styles.
75
76       The options for the processor are:
77
78       use_metadata
79           Controls the metadata options below.
80
81       strip_metadata
82           If true, any metadata in the input document is removed from the
83           output document (note - does not take effect in complete document
84           format).
85
86       empty element suffix
87           This option can be used to generate normal HTML output. By default,
88           it is ' />', which is xHTML, change to '>' for normal HTML.
89
90       img_ids
91           Controls if <img> tags generated have an id attribute. Defaults to
92           true.  Turn off for compatibility with the original markdown.
93
94       heading_ids
95           Controls if <hX> tags generated have an id attribute. Defaults to
96           true.  Turn off for compatibility with the original markdown.
97
98       bibliography_title
99           The title of the generated bibliography, defaults to
100           'Bibliography'.
101
102       tab_width
103           Controls indent width in the generated markup, defaults to 4
104
105       disable_tables
106           If true, this disables the MultiMarkdown table handling.
107
108       disable_footnotes
109           If true, this disables the MultiMarkdown footnotes handling.
110
111       disable_bibliography
112           If true, this disables the MultiMarkdown bibliography/citation
113           handling.
114
115       disable_definition_lists
116           If true, this disables the MultiMarkdown definition list handling.
117
118       A number of possible items of metadata can also be supplied as options.
119       Note that if the use_metadata is true then the metadata in the document
120       will overwrite the settings on command line.
121
122       Metadata options supported are:
123
124       document_format
125       use_wikilinks
126       base_url
127       self_url - The document url is prepended to the "#" anchor of
128       footnotes.
129

METADATA

131       MultiMarkdown supports the concept of 'metadata', which allows you to
132       specify a number of formatting options within the document itself.
133       Metadata should be placed in the top few lines of a file, on value per
134       line as colon separated key/value pairs.  The metadata should be
135       separated from the document with a blank line.
136
137       Most metadata keys are also supported as options to the constructor, or
138       options to the markdown method itself. (Note, as metadata, keys contain
139       space, whereas options the keys are underscore separated.)
140
141       You can attach arbitrary metadata to a document, which is output in
142       HTML <META> tags if unknown, see t/11document_format.t for more info.
143
144       A list of 'known' metadata keys, and their effects are listed below:
145
146       document format
147           If set to 'complete', MultiMarkdown will render an entire xHTML
148           page, otherwise it will render a document fragment
149
150           css Sets a CSS file for the file, if in 'complete' document format.
151
152           title
153               Sets the page title, if in 'complete' document format.
154
155       use wikilinks
156           If set to '1' or 'on', causes links that are WikiWords to
157           automatically be processed into links.
158
159       base url
160           This is the base URL for referencing wiki pages. In this is not
161           supplied, all wiki links are relative.
162

THIS DISTRIBUTION

199       Please note that this distribution is a fork of Fletcher Penny's
200       MultiMarkdown project, and it *is not* in any way blessed by him.
201
202       Whilst this code aims to be compatible with the original MultiMarkdown
203       (and incorporates and passes the MultiMarkdown test suite) whilst
204       fixing a number of bugs in the original - there may be differences
205       between the behaviour of this module and MultiMarkdown. If you find any
206       differences where you believe Text::MultiMarkdown behaves contrary to
207       the MultiMarkdown spec, please report them as bugs.
