       Markdown::Render - Render markdown as HTML

SYNOPSIS

        use Markdown::Render;

        my $md = Markdown::Render->new( infile => 'README.md');

        $md->render_markdown->print_html;

       ...or from the command line to create HTML

        md-utils -r README.md > README.html

       ...or from the command line to replace render custom tags

        md-utils README.md.in > README.md

DESCRIPTION

       Renders markdown as HTML using either GitHub's API or Text::Markdown::Discount. Optionally adds
       additional metadata to markdown document using custom tags.

       See README.md <https://github.com/rlauer6/markdown-utils/blob/master/README.md> for more details.

       Note: This module originally used Text::Markdown as an alternative to using the GitHub API however, there
       are too many bugs and idiosyncracies in that module. This module will now use Text::Markdown::Discount
       which is not only faster, but seems to be more compliant with GFM.

       Note: Text::Markdown::Discount relies on the text-markdown library which did not actually support all of
       the markdown features (including code fencing).  You can find an updated version of
       Text::Markdown::Discount here: <https://github.com/rlauer6/text-markdown-discount>
