NAME

     lowdown_file — parse a Markdown file into formatted output

LIBRARY

     library “liblowdown”

SYNOPSIS

     #include <sys/queue.h>
     #include <stdio.h>
     #include <lowdown.h>

     int
     lowdown_file(const struct lowdown_opts *opts, FILE *in, char **ret, size_t *retsz,
         struct lowdown_metaq *metaq);

DESCRIPTION

     Parses a lowdown(5) file stream in into an output buffer ret of size retsz according to
     configuration opts.  The output format is specified by opts->type.  If LOWDOWN_METADATA is
     set in opts->feat and metaq is not NULL, metaq is filled with metadata rendered in the given
     output format.

     On success, the caller is responsible for freeing ret and metaq.

RETURN VALUES

     Returns zero on failure, non-zero on success.  On failure, the values pointed to by res and
     rsz are undefined.

EXAMPLES

     The following parses standard input into a standalone HTML5 document.  It enables footnotes,
     autolinks, tables, superscript, strikethrough, fenced codeblocks, commonmark, definition
     lists, extended image attributes, and metadata processing.  The output passes through raw
     HTML and has smart typography.

           struct lowdown_opts opts;
           char *buf;
           size_t bufsz;

           memset(&opts, 0, sizeof(struct lowdown_opts));
           opts.type = LOWDOWN_HTML;
           opts.feat = LOWDOWN_FOOTNOTES |

           if (!lowdown_file(&opts, stdin, &buf, &bufsz, NULL))
                   errx(1, "lowdown_file");
           fwrite(buf, 1, bufsz, stdout);
           free(buf);
