david parsons 19d8121897 Implement MKD_NOIMAGE, MKD_NOLINKS, MKD_NOSMARTY; reparse the target
text of [links][]   (so I can embed an image inside a link without

expand properly.

.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Fd #include <mkdio.h>
.Ft int
.Fn markdown "void *blob" "FILE *output" "int flags"
.Ft void
.Fn mkd_text "char *string" "int size" "FILE *output" "int flags"

.Fn mkd_string "char *string" "int size"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
These functions
convert
.Em Markdown
documents and strings into HTML.
.Fn markdown
processes an entire document, while
.Fn mkd_text
processes a single string.
.Pp
The
.Fn markdown
function expects to recieve a preprocessed text from the
.Fn mkd_in
or
.Fn mkd_string
functions, while
.Fn mkd_text
treats your input text as a single paragraph of markup.
.Pp
To process a file, you pass a FILE* to
.Fn mkd_in ,
and if it returns a nonzero value you pass that in to
.Fn markdown ,
which then writes the converted document to the specified
.Em FILE* .
If your input has already been written into a string (generated
input or a file opened
with
.Xr mmap 2 )
you can feed that string to
.Fn mkd_string
and pass its return value to
.Fn markdown.
.Pp
.Fn Markdown
and
.Fn mkd_text
accept the following flag values (or-ed together if needed)
to restrict how they process their input:
.Bl -tag -width MKD_NOIMAGE -compact
.It Ar MKD_NOIMAGE
Do not process `![]' and
remove
.Em \<img\>
tags from the output.
.It Ar MKD_NOLINKS
Do not process `[]' and remove
.Em \<a\>
tags from the output.
.It Ar MKD_NOFANCY
Do not do Fancypants-style mangling of quotes, dashes, or ellipses.
.El
.Sh RETURN VALUES
The functions
.Fn markdown
and
.Fn mkd_text
return 0 on success, 1 on failure.
The
.Fn mkd_in
and
.Fn mkd_string
functions return a compiled object blob on success, null on failure.
.Sh SEE ALSO
.Xr markdown 1 ,
.Xr markdown 7 ,
