NAME MultiMarkdown

SYNOPSIS MultiMarkdown.pl [ --html4tags ] [ --version ] [ -shortversion ] [ file ... ]

DESCRIPTION MultiMarkdown is an extended version of Markdown. See the website for more information.

        http://fletcherpenney.net/multimarkdown/

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 <div> and <table> as well).

For more information about Markdown's syntax, see:

    http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/

OPTIONS Use "--" to end switch parsing. For example, to open a file named "-z", use:

        Markdown.pl -- -z

--html4tags
    Use HTML 4 style for empty element tags, e.g.:

        <br>

    instead of Markdown's default XHTML style tags, e.g.:

        <br />

-v, --version
    Display Markdown's version number and copyright information.

-s, --shortversion
    Display the short-form version number.
