MKD2HTML(1)

mkd2html 💖 bestie's markdown-to-html glow-up machine

okay so real talk, this is a page from the General Commands Manual, and the command is mkd2html — aka the lil tool that takes your markdown and turns it into a whole entire web page. no cap. 🦋

---

✨ NAME ✨

mkd2html — markdown to html converter

like. that's it. that's the job. she converts. she serves. 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

mkd2html [-css file] [-header string] [-footer string] [file]

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so the mkd2html utility parses a markdown(7)-formatted textfile — or, if you don't specify one, she'll just read from stdin like the chill icon she is — and generates a web page. 🎀

here's the tea on the file handling, bestie:

• she reads file or file.text
• and writes the result into file.html

(where file is the argument you passed in. yes, exactly. the one you typed. that one.) 💖

also fun fact: mkd2html is part of discount. iykyk. ✨

---

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• -css file — specifies a CSS file. give her a little wardrobe change, slay 💅
• -header string — specifies a line to add to the <header> tag. yes ma'am, we're customizing ✨
• -footer string — specifies a line to add before the <body> tag. 🫶

---

⭐ RETURN VALUES ⭐

the mkd2html utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

so like... zero means she ate and left no crumbs. anything above zero means something went sideways, and you should probably go look. 😭

bestie reminder: 0 = good vibes only. >0 = vibe check failed.
