✨ MAKEPAGE ✨

okay so bestie, gather round, because today we're talking about makepage from the General Commands Manual — yes it's a real one, and yes it's lowkey iconic 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

makepage — the girl whose whole job is turning markdown into a fully-formed xhtml page 🦋

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

makepage [-V] [-F bitmap] [-f flags] [file]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. she's not complicated, she's just good at what she does 💖

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so basically, makepage takes a textfile that's formatted in markdown(7) and parses it, compiles it, and prints a fully-formed xhtml page to stdout. like, fully formed. dressed and ready. no cap 🔥

no file? no problem, she'll read from stdin instead. she's flexible like that 🫶

also — and this is the part where I need you to pay attention bestie — the -F, -f, and -V flags are identical to the same options in markdown(1). exactly the same. do not come for me asking for extra details, they live over there, go read that page 📖

and for the record: makepage is part of discount. she's a discount girlie. periodt 👑

⭐ RETURN VALUES ⭐

she exits 0 when everything slays, and >0 if an error occurs. that's it. that's the whole story. if you get a number bigger than zero, something went wrong and you should probably go look at it 😭
