mmd A Miniature Markdown "Library"

mmd is a miniature markdown parsing “library” consisting of a single C source file and accompanying header file. mmd mostly conforms to the CommonMark version of markdown syntax with the following exceptions:

• Embedded HTML markup and entities are explicitly not supported or allowed; the reason for this is to better support different kinds of output from the markdown “source”, including XHTML, man, and xml2rfc.

• Tabs are silently expanded to the markdown standard of four spaces since HTML uses eight spaces per tab.

• Some pathological nested link and inline style features supported by CommonMark (******Really Strong Text******) are not supported by mmd.

In addition, mmd supports a couple (otherwise undocumented) markdown extensions:

• Metadata as used by Jekyll and other web markdown solutions.

• ”@” links which resolve to headings within the file.

• Tables and task lists as used by the Github Flavored Markdown Spec.
