Man pages are now generated from markdown templates,

using pandoc's man page writer.  Removed man pages
from repository, added (.md) templates.  Modified
Makefile to generate man pages as part of the build
process.

.SH NAME
hsmarkdown \- convert markdown-formatted text to HTML
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBhsmarkdown\fR [\fIinput\-file\fR]...
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBhsmarkdown\fR converts markdown-formatted text to HTML. It is designed
to be usable as a drop-in replacement for John Gruber's \fBMarkdown.pl\fR.
.PP
If no \fIinput\-file\fR is specified, input is read from STDIN.
Otherwise, the \fIinput\-files\fR are concatenated (with a blank
line between each) and used as input. Output goes to STDOUT by
default. For output to a file, use shell redirection:
.IP
.B hsmarkdown input.txt > output.html
.PP
\fBhsmarkdown\fR uses the UTF\-8 character encoding for both input and output.
If your local character encoding is not UTF\-8, you should pipe input
and output through \fBiconv\fR:
.IP
.B iconv \-t utf\-8 input.txt | hsmarkdown | iconv \-f utf\-8
.PP
\fBhsmarkdown\fR is implemented as a wrapper around \fBpandoc\fR(1). It
calls \fBpandoc\fR with the options \fB\-\-from markdown \-\-to html
\-\-strict\fR and disables all other options. (Command-line options
will be interpreted as filenames, as they are by \fBMarkdown.pl\fR.)

# NAME
hsmarkdown - convert markdown-formatted text to HTML
# SYNOPSIS
**hsmarkdown [*input-file*]...**
# DESCRIPTION
`hsmarkdown` converts markdown-formatted text to HTML. It is designed
to be usable as a drop-in replacement for John Gruber's `Markdown.pl`.
If no *input-file* is specified, input is read from STDIN.
Otherwise, the *input-files* are concatenated (with a blank
line between each) and used as input. Output goes to STDOUT by
default. For output to a file, use shell redirection:
hsmarkdown input.txt > output.html
`hsmarkdown` uses the UTF-8 character encoding for both input and output.
If your local character encoding is not UTF-8, you should pipe input
and output through `iconv`:
iconv -t utf-8 input.txt | hsmarkdown | iconv -f utf-8
`hsmarkdown` is implemented as a wrapper around `pandoc`(1). It
calls `pandoc` with the options `--from markdown --to html
--strict` and disables all other options. (Command-line options
will be interpreted as filenames, as they are by `Markdown.pl`.)

.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBhtml2markdown\fR [\fIpandoc\-options\fR]
[\-\- \fIspecial\-options\fR] [\fIinput\-file\fR or \fIURL\fR]
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBhtml2markdown\fR converts \fIinput\-file\fR or \fIURL\fR (or text
from STDIN) from HTML to markdown\-formatted plain text.
If a URL is specified, \fBhtml2markdown\fR uses an available program
(e.g. wget, w3m, lynx or curl) to fetch its contents. Output is sent
to STDOUT unless an output file is specified using the \fB\-o\fR
option.
.PP
\fBhtml2markdown\fR uses the character encoding specified in the
"Content-type" meta tag. If this is not present, or if input comes
from STDIN, UTF-8 is assumed. A character encoding may be specified
explicitly using the \fB\-e\fR special option.
.SH OPTIONS
.PP
\fBhtml2markdown\fR is a wrapper for \fBpandoc\fR, so all of
\fBpandoc\fR's options may be used. See \fBpandoc\fR(1) for
a complete list. The following options are most relevant:
.TP
.B \-s, \-\-standalone
Include title, author, and date information (if present) at the
top of markdown output.
.TP
.B \-o FILE, \-\-output=FILE
Write output to \fIFILE\fR instead of STDOUT.
.TP
.B \-\-strict
Use strict markdown syntax, with no extensions or variants.
.TP
.B \-\-reference\-links
Use reference-style links, rather than inline links, in writing markdown
or reStructuredText.
.TP
.B \-R, \-\-parse-raw
Parse untranslatable HTML codes as raw HTML.
.TP
.B \-H \fIFILE\fB, \-\-include-in-header=\fIFILE\fB
Include contents of \fIFILE\fR at the end of the header. Implies
\fB\-s\fR.
.TP
.B \-B \fIFILE\fB, \-\-include-before-body=\fIFILE\fB
Include contents of \fIFILE\fR at the beginning of the document body.
.TP
.B \-A \fIFILE\fB, \-\-include-after-body=\fIFILE\fB
Include contents of \fIFILE\fR at the end of the document body.
.TP
.B \-C \fIFILE\fB, \-\-custom-header=\fIFILE\fB
Use contents of \fIFILE\fR
as the document header (overriding the default header, which can be
printed using '\fBpandoc \-D markdown\fR'). Implies
\fB-s\fR.
.SH "SPECIAL OPTIONS"
.PP
In addition, the following special options may be used. The special
options must be separated from the \fBhtml2markdown\fR command and any
regular \fBpandoc\fR options by the delimiter `\-\-', as in
.IP
.B html2markdown \-o foo.txt \-\- \-g 'curl \-u bar:baz' \-e latin1
.B www.foo.com
.TP
.B \-e \fIencoding\fR, \-\-encoding=\fIencoding\fR
Assume the character encoding \fIencoding\fR in reading HTML.
(Note: \fIencoding\fR will be passed to \fBiconv\fR; a list of
available encodings may be obtained using `\fBiconv \-l\fR'.)
If this option is not specified and input is not from
STDIN, \fBhtml2markdown\fR will try to extract the character encoding
from the "Content-type" meta tag. If no character encoding is
specified in this way, or if input is from STDIN, UTF-8 will be
assumed.
.TP
.B \-g \fIcommand\fR, \-\-grabber=\fIcommand\fR
Use \fIcommand\fR to fetch the contents of a URL. (By default,
\fBhtml2markdown\fR searches for an available program or text-based
browser to fetch the contents of a URL.)

# NAME
html2markdown - converts HTML to markdown-formatted text
# SYNOPSIS
**html2markdown [*pandoc-options*] [-- *special-options*] [*input-file* or
*URL*]**
# DESCRIPTION
`html2markdown` converts *input-file* or *URL* (or text
from STDIN) from HTML to markdown-formatted plain text.
If a URL is specified, `html2markdown` uses an available program
(e.g. wget, w3m, lynx or curl) to fetch its contents. Output is sent
to STDOUT unless an output file is specified using the `-o`
option.
`html2markdown` uses the character encoding specified in the
"Content-type" meta tag. If this is not present, or if input comes
from STDIN, UTF-8 is assumed. A character encoding may be specified
explicitly using the `-e` special option.
# OPTIONS
`html2markdown` is a wrapper for `pandoc`, so all of
`pandoc`'s options may be used. See `pandoc`(1) for
a complete list. The following options are most relevant:
-s, --standalone
: Include title, author, and date information (if present) at the
top of markdown output.
-o *FILE*, --output=*FILE*
: Write output to *FILE* instead of STDOUT.
--strict
: Use strict markdown syntax, with no extensions or variants.
--reference-links
: Use reference-style links, rather than inline links, in writing markdown
or reStructuredText.
-R, --parse-raw
: Parse untranslatable HTML codes as raw HTML.
-H *FILE*, --include-in-header=*FILE*
: Include contents of *FILE* at the end of the header. Implies
`-s`.
-B *FILE*, --include-before-body=*FILE*
: Include contents of *FILE* at the beginning of the document body.
-A *FILE*, --include-after-body=*FILE*
: Include contents of *FILE* at the end of the document body.
-C *FILE*, --custom-header=*FILE*
Use contents of *FILE*
as the document header (overriding the default header, which can be
printed using `pandoc -D markdown`). Implies
`-s`.
# SPECIAL OPTIONS
In addition, the following special options may be used. The special
options must be separated from the `html2markdown` command and any
regular `pandoc` options by the delimiter '`--`', as in
html2markdown -o foo.txt -- -g 'curl -u bar:baz' -e latin1 \
www.foo.com
-e *encoding*, --encoding=*encoding*
: Assume the character encoding *encoding* in reading HTML.
(Note: *encoding* will be passed to `iconv`; a list of
available encodings may be obtained using `iconv -l`.)
If this option is not specified and input is not from
STDIN, `html2markdown` will try to extract the character encoding
from the "Content-type" meta tag. If no character encoding is
specified in this way, or if input is from STDIN, UTF-8 will be
assumed.
-g *command*, --grabber=*command*
: Use *command* to fetch the contents of a URL. (By default,
`html2markdown` searches for an available program or text-based
browser to fetch the contents of a URL.)

.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBmarkdown2pdf\fR converts \fIinput\-file\fR (or text from standard
input) from markdown\-formatted plain text to PDF, using \fBpdflatex\fR.
If no output filename is specified (using the \fB\-o\fR option),
the name of the output file is derived from the input file; thus, for
example, if the input file is \fIhello.txt\fR, the output file will be
\fIhello.pdf\fR. If the input is read from STDIN and no output filename
is specified, the output file will be named \fIstdin.pdf\fR. If multiple
input files are specified, they will be concatenated before conversion,
and the name of the output file will be derived from the first input file.
.PP
Input is assumed to be in the UTF\-8 character encoding. If your
local character encoding is not UTF\-8, you should pipe input and
output through \fBiconv\fR:
.IP
.B iconv \-t utf\-8 input.txt | pandoc | iconv \-f utf\-8
.PP
\fBmarkdown2pdf\fR assumes that the 'unicode' and 'fancyvrb' packages
are in latex's search path. If these packages are not included in your
latex setup, they can be obtained from <http://ctan.org>.

.TH PANDOC 1 "December 15, 2006" Pandoc "User Manuals"
.SH NAME
pandoc \- general markup converter
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBpandoc\fR [\fIoptions\fR] [\fIinput\-file\fR]...
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fIPandoc\fR converts files from one markup format to another. It can
read markdown and (subsets of) reStructuredText, HTML, and LaTeX, and
it can write markdown, reStructuredText, HTML, LaTeX, RTF, DocBook
XML, and S5 HTML slide shows.
.PP
If no \fIinput\-file\fR is specified, input is read from STDIN.
Otherwise, the \fIinput\-files\fR are concatenated (with a blank
line between each) and used as input. Output goes to STDOUT by
default. For output to a file, use the \fB\-o\fR option:
.IP
.B pandoc \-o output.html input.txt
.PP
The input and output formats may be specified using command-line options
(see \fBOPTIONS\fR, below, for details). If these formats are not
specified explicitly, \fIPandoc\fR will attempt to determine them
from the extensions of the input and output filenames. If input comes
from STDIN or from a file with an unknown extension, the input is assumed
to be markdown. If no output filename is specified using the \fB\-o\fR
option, or if a filename is specified but its extension is unknown,
the output will default to HTML. Thus, for example,
.IP
.B pandoc -o chap1.tex chap1.txt
.PP
converts \fIchap1.txt\fR from markdown to LaTeX. And
.IP
.B pandoc README
.PP
converts \fIREADME\fR from markdown to HTML.
.PP
Pandoc's version of markdown is an extended variant of standard
markdown: the differences are described in the \fIREADME\fR file in
the user documentation. If standard markdown syntax is desired, the
\fB\-\-strict\fR option may be used.
.PP
\fIPandoc\fR uses the UTF\-8 character encoding for both input and output.
If your local character encoding is not UTF\-8, you should pipe input
and output through \fBiconv\fR:
.IP
.B iconv \-t utf\-8 input.txt | pandoc | iconv \-f utf\-8
.PP
\fIPandoc\fR's HTML parser is not very forgiving. If your input is
HTML, consider running it through \fBtidy\fR(1) before passing it
to Pandoc. Or use \fBhtml2markdown\fR(1), a wrapper around \fBpandoc\fR.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B \-f \fIFORMAT\fB, \-r \fIFORMAT\fB, \-\-from=\fIFORMAT\fB, \-\-read=\fIFORMAT\fB
Specify input format.
.I FORMAT
can be

(LaTeX).
.TP
.B \-t \fIFORMAT\fB, \-w \fIFORMAT\fB, \-\-to=\fIFORMAT\fB, \-\-write=\fIFORMAT\fB
Specify output format.
.I FORMAT
can be
.B native
(native Haskell),
.B markdown
(markdown or plain text),
.B rst
(reStructuredText),
.B html
(HTML),
.B latex
(LaTeX),
.B docbook
(DocBook XML),
.B s5
(S5 HTML and javascript slide show),
or
.B rtf
(rich text format).
.TP
.B \-s, \-\-standalone
Produce output with an appropriate header and footer (e.g. a
standalone HTML, LaTeX, or RTF file, not a fragment).
.TP
.B \-o FILE, \-\-output=FILE
Write output to \fIFILE\fR instead of STDOUT. If \fIFILE\fR is
`\-', output will go to STDOUT.
.TP
.B \-p, \-\-preserve-tabs
Preserve tabs instead of converting them to spaces.
.TP
.B \-\-tab-stop=\fITABSTOP\fB
Specify tab stop (default is 4).
.TP
.B \-\-strict
Use strict markdown syntax, with no extensions or variants.
.TP
.B \-\-reference\-links
Use reference-style links, rather than inline links, in writing markdown
or reStructuredText.
.TP
.B \-R, \-\-parse-raw
Parse untranslatable HTML codes and LaTeX environments as raw HTML
or LaTeX, instead of ignoring them.
.TP
.B \-S, \-\-smart
Use smart quotes, dashes, and ellipses. (This option is significant
only when the input format is \fBmarkdown\fR. It is selected automatically
when the output format is \fBlatex\fR.)
.TP
.B \-m, \-\-asciimathml
Use ASCIIMathML to display embedded LaTeX math in HTML output.
.TP
.B \-i, \-\-incremental
Make list items in S5 display incrementally (one by one).
.TP
.B \-N, \-\-number-sections
Number section headings in LaTeX output. (Default is not to number
them.)
.TP
.B \-c \fICSS\fB, \-\-css=\fICSS\fB
Link to a CSS style sheet.
.I CSS
is the pathname of the style sheet.
.TP
.B \-H \fIFILE\fB, \-\-include-in-header=\fIFILE\fB
Include contents of \fIFILE\fR at the end of the header. Implies
\fB\-s\fR.
.TP
.B \-B \fIFILE\fB, \-\-include-before-body=\fIFILE\fB
Include contents of \fIFILE\fR at the beginning of the document
body.
.TP
.B \-A \fIFILE\fB, \-\-include-after-body=\fIFILE\fB
Include contents of \fIFILE\fR at the end of the document body.
.TP
.B \-C \fIFILE\fB, \-\-custom-header=\fIFILE\fB
Use contents of \fIFILE\fR as the document header (overriding the
default header, which can be printed by using the \fB\-D\fR option).
Implies \fB-s\fR.
.TP
.B \-D \fIFORMAT\fB, \-\-print-default-header=\fIFORMAT\fB
Print the default header for \fIFORMAT\fR (\fBhtml, s5, latex, docbook,
markdown, rst, rtf\fR).
.TP
.B \-T \fISTRING\fB, \-\-title-prefix=\fISTRING\fB
Specify \fISTRING\fR as a prefix to the HTML window title.
.TP
.B \-\-dump\-args
Print information about command\-line arguments to STDOUT, then exit.
The first line of output contains the name of the output file specified
with the \fB\-o\fR option, or `\-' (for STDOUT) if no output file was
specified. The remaining lines contain the command\-line arguments,
one per line, in the order they appear. These do not include regular
Pandoc options and their arguments, but do include any options appearing
after a `\-\-' separator at the end of the line.
This option is intended primarily for use in wrapper scripts.
.TP
.B \-\-ignore\-args
Ignore command\-line arguments (for use in wrapper scripts).
Regular Pandoc options are not ignored. Thus, for example,
.IP
.B pandoc \-\-ignore\-args \-o foo.html \-s foo.txt -- -e latin1
.IP
is equivalent to
.IP
.B pandoc \-o foo.html \-s
.TP
.B \-v, \-\-version
Print version.
.TP
.B \-h, \-\-help
Show usage message.

# NAME
pandoc - general markup converter
# SYNOPSIS
**pandoc [*options*] [*input-file*]...**
# DESCRIPTION
Pandoc converts files from one markup format to another. It can
read markdown and (subsets of) reStructuredText, HTML, and LaTeX, and
it can write markdown, reStructuredText, HTML, LaTeX, RTF, DocBook
XML, and S5 HTML slide shows.
If no *input-file* is specified, input is read from STDIN.
Otherwise, the *input-files* are concatenated (with a blank
line between each) and used as input. Output goes to STDOUT by
default. For output to a file, use the `-o` option:
pandoc -o output.html input.txt
The input and output formats may be specified using command-line options
(see **OPTIONS**, below, for details). If these formats are not
specified explicitly, Pandoc will attempt to determine them
from the extensions of the input and output filenames. If input comes
from STDIN or from a file with an unknown extension, the input is assumed
to be markdown. If no output filename is specified using the `-o`
option, or if a filename is specified but its extension is unknown,
the output will default to HTML. Thus, for example,
pandoc -o chap1.tex chap1.txt
converts *chap1.txt* from markdown to LaTeX. And
pandoc README
converts *README* from markdown to HTML.
Pandoc's version of markdown is an extended variant of standard
markdown: the differences are described in the *README* file in
the user documentation. If standard markdown syntax is desired, the
`--strict` option may be used.
Pandoc uses the UTF-8 character encoding for both input and output.
If your local character encoding is not UTF-8, you should pipe input
and output through `iconv`:
iconv -t utf-8 input.txt | pandoc | iconv -f utf-8
Pandoc's HTML parser is not very forgiving. If your input is
HTML, consider running it through `tidy`(1) before passing it
to Pandoc. Or use `html2markdown`(1), a wrapper around `pandoc`.
# OPTIONS
-f *FORMAT*, -r *FORMAT*, --from=*FORMAT*, --read=*FORMAT*
: Specify input format. *FORMAT* can be
`native` (native Haskell), `markdown` (markdown or plain text),
`rst` (reStructuredText), `html` (HTML), or `latex` (LaTeX).
-t *FORMAT*, -w *FORMAT*, --to=*FORMAT*, --write=*FORMAT*
: Specify output format. *FORMAT* can be `native` (native Haskell),
`man` (groff man page),
`markdown` (markdown or plain text), `rst` (reStructuredText),
`html` (HTML), `latex` (LaTeX), `docbook` (DocBook XML),
`s5` (S5 HTML and javascript slide show), or
`rtf` (rich text format).
-s, --standalone
: Produce output with an appropriate header and footer (e.g. a
standalone HTML, LaTeX, or RTF file, not a fragment).
-o *FILE*, --output=*FILE*
: Write output to *FILE* instead of STDOUT. If *FILE* is
'`-`', output will go to STDOUT.
-p, --preserve-tabs
: Preserve tabs instead of converting them to spaces.
--tab-stop=*TABSTOP*
: Specify tab stop (default is 4).
--strict
: Use strict markdown syntax, with no extensions or variants.
--reference-links
: Use reference-style links, rather than inline links, in writing markdown
or reStructuredText.
-R, --parse-raw
: Parse untranslatable HTML codes and LaTeX environments as raw HTML
or LaTeX, instead of ignoring them.
-S, --smart
: Use smart quotes, dashes, and ellipses. (This option is significant
only when the input format is `markdown`. It is selected automatically
when the output format is `latex`.)
-m, --asciimathml
: Use ASCIIMathML to display embedded LaTeX math in HTML output.
-i, --incremental
: Make list items in S5 display incrementally (one by one).
-N, --number-sections
: Number section headings in LaTeX output. (Default is not to number
them.)
-c *CSS*, --css=*CSS*
: Link to a CSS style sheet. *CSS* is the pathname of the style sheet.
-H *FILE*, --include-in-header=*FILE*
: Include contents of *FILE* at the end of the header. Implies `-s`.
-B *FILE*, --include-before-body=*FILE*
: Include contents of *FILE* at the beginning of the document body.
-A *FILE*, --include-after-body=*FILE*
: Include contents of *FILE* at the end of the document body.
-C *FILE*, --custom-header=*FILE*
: Use contents of *FILE* as the document header (overriding the
default header, which can be printed by using the `-D` option).
Implies `-s`.
-D *FORMAT*, --print-default-header=*FORMAT*
: Print the default header for *FORMAT* (`html`, `s5`, `latex`,
`docbook`, `man`, `markdown`, `rst`, `rtf`).
-T *STRING*, --title-prefix=*STRING*
: Specify *STRING* as a prefix to the HTML window title.
--dump-args
: Print information about command-line arguments to STDOUT, then exit.
The first line of output contains the name of the output file specified
with the `-o` option, or '`-`' (for STDOUT) if no output file was
specified. The remaining lines contain the command-line arguments,
one per line, in the order they appear. These do not include regular
Pandoc options and their arguments, but do include any options appearing
after a '`--`' separator at the end of the line.
This option is intended primarily for use in wrapper scripts.
--ignore-args
: Ignore command-line arguments (for use in wrapper scripts).
Regular Pandoc options are not ignored. Thus, for example,
: pandoc --ignore-args -o foo.html -s foo.txt -- -e latin1
: is equivalent to
: pandoc -o foo.html -s
-v, --version
: Print version.
-h, --help
: Show usage message.
