NAME

lowdown_latex_new — allocate a Markdown LaTeX renderer

LIBRARY

library “liblowdown”

SYNOPSIS

#include <sys/queue.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <lowdown.h>

void *
lowdown_latex_new(const struct lowdown_opts *opts);

DESCRIPTION

Allocates an LaTeX renderer using opts->flags, or zero if opts is NULL. This field is documented in lowdown(3). The returned pointer may be used with multiple invocations of lowdown_latex_rndr(3) and must be freed with lowdown_latex_free(3).

The bits recognised in opts->oflags are LOWDOWN_LATEX_NUMBERED, LOWDOWN_LATEX_SKIP_HTML, and LOWDOWN_STANDALONE.

RETURN VALUES

Returns a pointer to the renderer or NULL on memory failure. The returned pointer must be freed with lowdown_latex_free(3).

EXAMPLES

The following assumes the the string buf of length bsz consists of Markdown content.

struct lowdown_buf *out;
struct lowdown_doc *doc;
struct lowdown_node *n;
void *rndr;

if ((doc = lowdown_doc_new(NULL)) == NULL)
  err(1, NULL);
if ((n = lowdown_doc_parse(doc, NULL, buf, bsz)) == NULL)
  err(1, NULL);
if ((out = lowdown_buf_new(256)) == NULL)
  err(1, NULL);
if ((rndr = lowdown_latex_new(NULL)) == NULL)
  err(1, NULL);
if (!lowdown_latex_rndr(out, NULL, rndr, n))
  err(1, NULL);

fwrite(out->data, 1, out->size, stdout);

lowdown_latex_free(rndr);
lowdown_buf_free(out);
lowdown_node_free(n);
lowdown_doc_free(doc);
