markdown.c

/* A more modern markdown converter.

 * Copyright (c) 2014 by Aaron Bloomfield
 *
 * This is part of the https://github.com/aaronbloomfield/pdr
 * repository, and is released under the CC BY-SA license (along with
 * the rest of that repository).
 *
 * The default markdown that is installed with Ubuntu (version 1.0.1
 * from 2004) does not support more modern tags, such as tables.  This
 * program will use the libmarkdown library, which does have support
 * for those tags, to perform a markdown conversion.  It requires the
 * libmarkdown2-dev pacakage be installed under Ubuntu.
 *
 * The resulting document is a full HTML document -- meaning it adds
 * the <doctype>, <html>, <head>, and <body> tags to the document.
 *
 * To compile: "gcc markdown.c -o markdown -lmarkdown"
 *
 * To use, specify the input file name, and optionally an output file
 * name.
