An extension library around Fletcher Penney's implementation of MultiMarkdown in C. This library is based (almost entirely) on rpeg-markdown, which is a ruby extension library around John MacFarlane's C implementation of Markdown.
>> require 'multimarkdown'
>> puts MultiMarkdown.new('Hello, world.').to_html
# <p>Hello, world.</p>
>> puts MultiMarkdown.new('_Hello World!_', :smart, :filter_html).to_html
# <p><em>Hello World!</em></p>
>> puts MultiMarkdown.new('_Hello World!_').to_latex
# \emph{Hello World!}
>> puts MultiMarkdown.new("Title: Some document\n\nSome text in the document").extract_metadata("title")
# Some document
>> PEGMultiMarkdown.new('Hello! World!')
This library requires a recent version of glib2. All modern GNU userland systems should be fine.
