NAME

       markdown_py - a Python implementation of John Gruber's Markdown.

SYNOPSIS

       markdown_py [options] [INPUT_FILE]
       (STDIN is assumed if no INPUT_FILE is given)

DESCRIPTION

       Command-line Markdown compiler based on python-markdown module, with extensions support.

       Deprecated! Use python3 -m markdown instead, which accepts the same options.

OPTIONS

       --version
              Show program's version number and exit.

       -h, --help
              Show the help message and exit.

       -f OUTPUT_FILE, --file=OUTPUT_FILE
              Write output to OUTPUT_FILE. Defaults to STDOUT.

       -e ENCODING, --encoding=ENCODING
              Encoding for input and output files.

       -o OUTPUT_FORMAT, --output_format=OUTPUT_FORMAT
              Use output format 'xhtml' (default) or 'html'.

       -n, --no_lazy_ol
              Observe number of first item of ordered lists.

       -x EXTENSION, --extension=EXTENSION
              Load extension EXTENSION.

       -c CONFIG_FILE, --extension_configs=CONFIG_FILE
              Read  extension  configurations  from  CONFIG_FILE.  CONFIG_FILE must be of JSON or
              YAML format. YAML format requires python3-yaml package to be installed. The  parsed
              JSON  or  YAML  must  result  in a Python dictionary which would be accepted by the
              'extension_configs' keyword on the markdown.Markdown  class.  The  extensions  must
              also be loaded with the --extension option.

       -q, --quiet
              Suppress all warnings.

       -v, --verbose
              Print all warnings.

       --noisy

                                                                                   MARKDOWN_PY(1)
