NAME

markdown_py - a Python implementation of John Gruber's Markdown.

SYNOPSIS

markdown_py [options] [INPUT_FILE]

(STDIN is assumed if no INPUT_FILE is given)

DESCRIPTION

Encoding for input and output files.
Use output format 'xhtml' (default) or 'html'.

The extensions must also be loaded with the --extension option.
