NAME

       multimarkdown - Convert MultiMarkdown syntax to (X)HTML

DESCRIPTION

       This program is distributed as part of Perl's Text::MultiMarkdown module, illustrating
       sample usage.

       multimarkdown can be invoked on any file containing MultiMarkdown-syntax, and will produce
       the corresponding (X)HTML on STDOUT:

           $ cat file.txt
           [MultiMarkdown][] *extends* the very well-known [Markdown][] syntax.

           [MultiMarkdown]: http://fletcherpenney.net/What_is_MultiMarkdown
           [Markdown]: http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/

           $ multimarkdown file.txt
           <p><a href="http://fletcherpenney.net/What_is_MultiMarkdown">MultiMarkdown</a> <em>extends</em> the very well-known <a href="http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/">Markdown</a> syntax.</p>

       If no file is specified, it will expect its input from STDIN:

           $ echo "A **simple** test" | multimarkdown
           <p>A <strong>simple</strong> test</p>

OPTIONS

       version

       shortversion
           Shows only the version number

       html4tags
           Produce HTML 4-style tags instead of XHTML - XHTML requires elements that do not wrap
           a block (i.e. the "hr" tag) to state they will not be closed, by closing with "/>".
           HTML 4-style will plainly output the tag as it comes:

               $ echo '---' | multimarkdown
               <hr />
               $ echo '---' | multimarkdown --html4tags
               <hr>
