Name

Text::Markup::Markdown - Markdown parser for Text::Markup

Synopsis

  my $html = Text::Markup->new->parse(file => 'README.md');

Description

This is the Markdown parser for Text::Markup. It reads in the file (relying on a BOM), hands it off to Text::Markdown for parsing, and then returns the generated HTML as an encoded UTF-8 string with an http-equiv="Content-Type" element identifying the encoding as UTF-8.

It recognizes files with the following extensions as Markdown:

.md
.mkd
.mkdn
.mdown
.markdown
