NAME

cmark - convert CommonMark formatted text to HTML

SYNOPSIS

cmark [options] file*

DESCRIPTION

cmark converts Markdown formatted plain text to either HTML, groff man, CommonMark XML, LaTeX, or CommonMark, using the conventions described in the CommonMark spec. It reads input from stdin or the specified files (concatenating their contents) and writes output to stdout.

OPTIONS

--to, -t FORMAT
Specify output format (html, man, xml, latex, commonmark).
--width WIDTH
Specify a column width to which to wrap the output. For no wrapping, use the value 0 (the default). This option currently only affects the commonmark, latex, and man renderers.
--hardbreaks
Render soft breaks (newlines inside paragraphs in the CommonMark source) as hard line breaks in the target format. If this option is specified, hard wrapping is disabled for CommonMark output, regardless of the value given with --width.
--nobreaks
Render soft breaks as spaces. If this option is specified, hard wrapping is disabled for all output formats, regardless of the value given with --width.
--sourcepos
Include source position attribute.
--normalize
Consolidate adjacent text nodes.
--validate-utf8
Validate UTF-8, replacing illegal sequences with U+FFFD.
--smart
Use smart punctuation. Straight double and single quotes will be rendered as curly quotes, depending on their position. -- will be rendered as an en-dash. --- will be rendered as an em-dash. ... will be rendered as ellipses.
--safe
Do not render raw HTML or potentially dangerous URLs. (Raw HTML is replaced by a placeholder comment; potentially dangerous URLs are replaced by empty strings.) Dangerous URLs are those that begin with `javascript:`, `vbscript:`, `file:`, or `data:` (except for `image/png`, `image/gif`, `image/jpeg`, or `image/webp` mime types).
--help
Print usage information.
--version
Print version.
