       Text::Markup::Markdown - Markdown parser for Text::Markup

Synopsis

         my $html = Text::Markup->new->parse(file => 'README.md');
         my $raw  = Text::Markup->new->parse(
             file    => 'README.md',
             options => [ raw => 1 ],
         );

Description

       This is the Markdown <https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/> parser for
       Text::Markup. It reads in the file (relying on a BOM
       <https://www.unicode.org/unicode/faq/utf_bom.html#BOM>), hands it off to Text::Markdown
       for parsing, and then returns the generated HTML as an encoded UTF-8 string with an
       "http-equiv="Content-Type"" element identifying the encoding as UTF-8.

       It recognizes files with the following extensions as Markdown:

       .md
       .mkd
       .mkdn
       .mdown
       .markdown

       To change it the files it recognizes, load this module directly and pass a regular
       expression matching the desired extension(s), like so:

         use Text::Markup::Markdown qr{markd?};

       Normally this module returns the output wrapped in a minimal HTML document skeleton. If
       you would like the raw output without the skeleton, you can pass the "raw" option to
       "parse".

       In addition, Text::Markup::Markdown supports all of the Text::Markdown options, including:

       "empty_element_suffix"
       "tab_width"
       "trust_list_start_value"
