NAME

       pmarkdown – Very configurable Markdown processor written in pure Perl, supporting the
       CommonMark spec and many extensions.

SYNOPSIS

         pmarkdown [-o key=value] ... < in_file.md > out_file.html_fragment

DESCRIPTION

       Currently "pmarkdown" can only read a single input from its standard input and will write
       its output on the standard output. Both are assumed to be encoded in UTF-8.

       If needed, See the GitHub pmarkdown page <https://github.com/mkende/pmarkdown> for
       installation instructions.

OPTIONS

--help, -h
Show a short help message about the program.

--helpfull
Show the complete man page of the program.

--list-options
Show the documentation of all the existing options of the Markdown processor.
This is the same content that can be found on the Markdown::Perl::Options page.

These options can be passed to the program with the "--options" flag.

--version, -v
Show the version of this program.

--mode mode, -m
Specify a mode for the Markdown processor. A mode is a set of configuration
options working together, typically to replicate the semantics of another existing
Markdown processor. See the "MODES" section in this page for a list of available
modes.

When a mode is applied, is set specific values for some options but any value for
these options set through the "--option" flag will take precedence.

--option option=value, -o
Specify the value for one particular option. The "--option" flag can be passed
multiple times. If an option is specified multiple times, the last value takes
precedence.

The options are described in the Markdown::Perl::Options page. You can see it with
the "pmarkdown --list-options" command.

When specifying an option value, boolean options should be passed as either 0, 1,
"false", or "true".

Note that all options are applied on top of the selected mode. Even if the options
are passed before the --mode flag, the mode will not override options set through
--option.

MODES

       default The default mode if no other mode is specified. This mode uses the default value
               for all the options (as per their documentation). The default syntax is documented
               in the GitHub repository of the project:
               <https://github.com/mkende/pmarkdown/blob/main/Syntax.md>

               Note that, in practice, setting the mode to default is equivalent to not setting a
               mode at all, except that subsequent calls to set a mode will raise a warning about
               the mode being overwritten.

       cmark   This mode implements the full CommonMark spec
               <https://spec.commonmark.org/0.31.2/>.

       github  This mode implements the GitHub Flavored Markdown <https://github.github.com/gfm/>
               variant of the CommonMark spec.

       markdown
               This mode implements the original Markdown syntax
               <https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax>.

               Note that this mode is not 100% similar to the original Markdown.pl script as that
               script has some buggy behavior that we are not reproducing.
