MARKDOWN_PY

NAME

markdown_py - a Python implementation of John Gruber’s Markdown.

SYNOPSIS

markdown_py [options] [INPUT_FILE]
(STDIN is assumed if no INPUT_FILE is given)

DESCRIPTION

Command-line Markdown compiler based on python-markdown module, with extensions support.

Deprecated! Use python3 -m markdown instead, which accepts the same options.

-c CONFIG_FILE, --extension_configs=CONFIG_FILE

The extensions must also be loaded with the --extension option.
