will produce the corresponding (X)HTML on STDOUT:
.PP
.Vb 2
\&    $ cat file.txt
\&    [MultiMarkdown][] *extends* the very well\-known [Markdown][] syntax.
\&
\&    [MultiMarkdown]: http://fletcherpenney.net/What_is_MultiMarkdown
\&    [Markdown]: http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/
\&
\&    $ multimarkdown file.txt
\&    <p><a href="http://fletcherpenney.net/What_is_MultiMarkdown">MultiMarkdown</a> <em>extends</em> the very well\-known <a href="http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/">Markdown</a> syntax.</p>
.Ve
.PP

.PP
.Vb 2
\&    $ echo "A **simple** test" | multimarkdown
\&    <p>A <strong>simple</strong> test</p>

be closed, by closing with \f(CW\*(C`/>\*(C'\fR. HTML 4\-style will plainly output
the tag as it comes:
