mmark – generate XML, HTML or markdown from mmark markdown
mmark [OPTIONS] [FILE...]
Mmark is a powerful markdown processor written in Go, geared towards writing IETF documents. It is, however, also suited for writing complete books and other technical documentation.
Mmark provides an advanced markdown dialect that processes file(s) to produce internet-drafts in XML RFC 7991 format. Mmark can produce xml2rfc (aforementioned RFC 7991), RFC 7749 (xml2rfc version 2), HTML5 and markdown output.
The syntax is detailed at https://mmark.nl/syntax.
-ast : print abstract syntax tree and exit.
-css string : link to a CSS stylesheet (only used with -html).
-fragment : don't create a full document.
-head string : link to HTML to be included in head (only used with -html).
-html : create HTML output.
-2 : generate RFC 7749 XML.
-markdown : output (normalized) markdown.
-unsafe : allow includes from anywhere in the filesystem, otherwise they are only allowed under the current document.
-textwidth integer : set the text width when generating markdown, defaults to 80 characters.
-w : write to source file when generating markdown.
-index : generate an index at the end of the document (default true).
