NAME
    Markdent - An event-based Markdown parser toolkit

SYNOPSIS
        use Markdent::Simple;

        my $parser = Markdent::Simple->new();
        my $html   = $parser->markdown_to_html(
            title    => 'My Document',
            markdown => $markdown,
        );

DESCRIPTION
    This distribution provides a toolkit for parsing Markdown (and Markdown
    variants). Unlike the other Markdown Perl tools, this module can be used
    for more than just generating HTML. The core parser generates events
    (like XML's SAX), making it easy to analyze a Markdown document in any
    number of ways.

    If you're only interested in converting Markdown to HTML, you can use
    the Markdent::Simple class to do this, although you can just as well use
    better battle-tested tools like Test::Markdown.

    Otherwise, see Markdown::Parser for more details on how to connect your
    handlers to a parser.

ALPHA WARNING
    This code is still quite new. While the Markdown to HTML conversion
    seems to work fine, the internals are subject to change. In particular,
    the parser internals need to be reworked to make creating additional
    Markdown dialects easier, and the Markdown::Event classes will probably
    expand into a hierarchy of classes in the future.

BUGS
    Please report any bugs or feature requests to
    `bug-markdent@rt.cpan.org', or through the web interface at
    http://rt.cpan.org. I will be notified, and then you'll automatically be
    notified of progress on your bug as I make changes.

DONATIONS
    If you'd like to thank me for the work I've done on this module, please
    consider making a "donation" to me via PayPal. I spend a lot of free
    time creating free software, and would appreciate any support you'd care
    to offer.

    Please note that I am not suggesting that you must do this in order for
    me to continue working on this particular software. I will continue to
    do so, inasmuch as I have in the past, for as long as it interests me.

    Similarly, a donation made in this way will probably not make me work on
    this software much more, unless I get so many donations that I can
    consider working on free software full time, which seems unlikely at
    best.

    To donate, log into PayPal and send money to autarch@urth.org or use the
    button on this page: http://www.urth.org/~autarch/fs-donation.html
