Introduction

The md: module provides utilities for working with Markdown text.

Function usages are given in the same format as in the reference doc for the builtin module.

This module uses a custom implementation that supports a large subset of CommonMark.

Functions

md:showadded in 0.21

md:show &width=0

Renders $markdown in the terminal.

The &width option specifies the width to wrap the output to. If it is 0 (the default) or negative, show queries the terminal width of the standard output and use it as the width, falling back to 80 if the query fails (for example when the standard output is not a terminal).

Examples:

~> md:show "#h1 heading\n- List\n- Item"
#h1 heading

• List

• Item

See also doc:show.
