NAME MultiMarkdown SYNOPSIS use Text::MultiMarkdown 'markdown'; my $html = markdown($text); use Text::MultiMarkdown 'markdown'; my $html = markdown( $text, { empty_element_suffix => '>', tab_width => 2 } ); use Text::MultiMarkdown; my $m = Text::MultiMarkdown->new; my $html = $m->markdown($text); use Text::MultiMarkdown; my $m = Text::MultiMarkdown->new; my $html = $m->markdown( $text, { empty_element_suffix => '>', tab_width => 2 } ); DESCRIPTION Markdown is a text-to-HTML filter; it translates an easy-to-read / easy-to-write structured text format into HTML. Markdown's text format is most similar to that of plain text email, and supports features such as headers, *emphasis*, code blocks, blockquotes, and links. Markdown's syntax is designed not as a generic markup language, but specifically to serve as a front-end to (X)HTML. You can use span-level HTML tags anywhere in a Markdown document, and you can use block level HTML tags (like
and as well). For more information about Markdown's syntax, see: http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/ BUGS To file bug reports or feature requests (other than topics listed in the Caveats section above) please send email to: support@daringfireball.net (for Markdown issues) fletcher@freeshell.org (for MultiMarkdown issues) kulp@cpan.org (for Text::MultiMarkdown issues) Please include with your report: (1) the example input; (2) the output you expected; (3) the output Markdown actually produced.
