NAME

     lowdown_doc_new — allocate a Markdown parser

LIBRARY

     library “liblowdown”

SYNOPSIS

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

     struct lowdown_doc *
     lowdown_doc_new(const struct lowdown_opts *opts);

DESCRIPTION

     Allocates a Markdown parser instance with configuration opts.  If opts is NULL, all values
     are assumed to be zero except for the maximum parse depth, which is fixed at 128.

     The returned instance may be used with multiple invocations of lowdown_doc_parse(3).

RETURN VALUES

     Returns a pointer to the parser or NULL on memory allocation failure.  The returned pointer
     must be freed with a call to lowdown_doc_free(3).

     Any pointer values in opts, such as those in meta and metaovr, are copied over, so they need
     not persist after being passed to lowdown_doc_new().

EXAMPLES

     The following parses b if length bsz and throws away the result.

           struct lowdown_doc *doc;
           struct lowdown_node *n;

           if ((doc = lowdown_doc_new(NULL)) == NULL)
                   err(1, NULL);
           if ((n = lowdown_doc_parse(doc, NULL, b, bsz, NULL)) == NULL)
                   err(1, NULL);

           lowdown_node_free(n);
           lowdown_doc_free(doc);
