6 MultiMarkdown.pl - Convert MultiMarkdown syntax to (X)HTML
7
9 This program is distributed as part of Perl's Text::MultiMarkdown
10 module, illustrating sample usage.
11
12 MultiMarkdown.pl can be invoked on any file containing MultiMarkdown-
13 syntax, and will produce the corresponding (X)HTML on STDOUT:
14
15 $ cat file.txt
16 [MultiMarkdown][] *extends* the very well-known [Markdown][] syntax.
17
18 [MultiMarkdown]: http://fletcherpenney.net/What_is_MultiMarkdown
19 [Markdown]: http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/

21 $ multimarkdown file.txt
22 <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>
23
24 If no file is specified, it will expect its input from STDIN:
25
26 $ echo "A **simple** test" | multimarkdown
27 <p>A <strong>simple</strong> test</p>

36 html4tags
37 Produce HTML 4-style tags instead of XHTML - XHTML requires
38 elements that do not wrap a block (i.e. the "hr" tag) to state they
39 will not be closed, by closing with "/>". HTML 4-style will plainly
40 output the tag as it comes:
41
42 $ echo '---' | multimarkdown
43 <hr />
44 $ echo '---' | multimarkdown --html4tags
45 <hr>
