HSMARKDOWN(1)                        General Commands Manual                        HSMARKDOWN(1)



NAME
       hsmarkdown - convert markdown-formatted text to HTML

SYNOPSIS
       hsmarkdown [input-file]...

DESCRIPTION
       hsmarkdown  converts  markdown-formatted  text  to HTML.  It is designed to be usable as a
       drop-in replacement for John Gruber's Markdown.pl.

       If no input-file is specified, input is read from stdin.  Otherwise, the  input-files  are
       concatenated (with a blank line between each) and used as input.  Output goes to stdout by
       default.  For output to a file, use shell redirection:


             hsmarkdown input.txt > output.html

       hsmarkdown is implemented as a symlink to the pandoc(1) executable.  When called under the
       name  hsmarkdown,  pandoc  behaves  as if it had been called with the options --from mark‐
       down --to html --strict and disables all other options.   (Command-line  options  will  be
       interpreted as filenames, as they are by Markdown.pl.)

SEE ALSO
       pandoc(1).  The README file distributed with Pandoc contains full documentation.

       The  Pandoc  source  code and all documentation may be downloaded from <http://johnmacfar‐
       lane.net/pandoc/>.
