MD2EDP(1) 💖

okay bestie, sit DOWN, we're talking about md2edp from the General Commands Manual and she is lowkey a whole vibe ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

md2edp — the girl who extracts freefem code from a Markdown file 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

md2edp script1.md [script2.md ...]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So this manual page is here to document, briefly, the whole scope of the md2edp command. Short and sweet, she's not doing a TED talk 🫶

md2edp extracts freefem code form Markdown file. That's the job. That's the mission. Periodt. 🔥

Here's the tea though, because it gets so much better: FreeFEM can now run Markdown (.md) files as well as .edp files. Not me being obsessed with that. Markdown can be used to document your FreeFEM scripts — see for example the .md files in the examples/examples directory, they're iconic 👑

When running a .md file, FreeFEM will execute the code contained in the FreeFEM code blocks, delimited by Square brackets. Yes bestie, the code blocks are the main character, everything else is just the supporting cast 🦋

Documented Markdown examples in the distribution can be viewed on the documentation website (toggle Search in examples). Go look, fr fr, it's giving curated content 💜

And you can preview Markdown with e.g Visual Studio Code, with the FreeFEM VS Code extension providing syntax highlighting for FreeFEM code blocks. Syntax highlighting?? In my code blocks?? It's more likely than you think. Slay 🌈
