MAWKDOWN

A quick and dirty awk script to convert markdown to HTML. I don't plan to implement the full spec, because I have other things to do and I don't really need tables, etc.

Here's what's been done so far:

• automatic links: https://example.com

• automatic emails: x@abc.com

• in-line formatting: bold, italics, code

• code blocks:

  four space indent

• ordered and unordered lists

• headers: #, ## and so on

• blockquotes: > text

• links: adsf

• images:

What's being worked on:

• footnotes: [^text]

USAGE

mawkdown reads markdown from STDIN or a file and spits the rendered HTML to STDOUT.

$ ./m.awk file.md > out.html
$ printf '## some markdown\n' | ./m.awk > out.html
