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)

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

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

--version: Show program's version number and exit.
-h, --help: Show the help message and exit.
-f OUTPUT_FILE, --file=OUTPUT_FILE: Write output to OUTPUT_FILE. Defaults to STDOUT.
-e ENCODING, --encoding=ENCODING: Encoding for input and output files.
-o OUTPUT_FORMAT, --output_format=OUTPUT_FORMAT: Use output format 'xhtml' (default) or 'html'.
-n, --no_lazy_ol: Observe number of first item of ordered lists.
-x EXTENSION, --extension=EXTENSION: Load extension EXTENSION.
-c CONFIG_FILE, --extension_configs=CONFIG_FILE: Read extension configurations from CONFIG_FILE. CONFIG_FILE must be of JSON or YAML format. YAML format requires python3-yaml package to be installed. The parsed JSON or YAML must result in a Python dictionary which would be accepted by the 'extension_configs' keyword on the markdown.Markdown class. The extensions must also be loaded with the --extension option.
-q, --quiet: Suppress all warnings.
-v, --verbose: Print all warnings.
--noisy: Print debug messages.
