💖 MKD_LINE(3) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Library Functions Manual page for mkd_line ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

mkd_line — do Markdown translation of small items 🎀

📚 LIBRARY 📚

Markdown (libmarkdown, -lmarkdown) 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <mkdio.h>

int
mkd_line(char *string, int size, char **doc, int flags);

int
mkd_generateline(char *string, int size, FILE *output, int flags);

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so like, sometimes you don't want to run Markdown over a whole entire document, you know? Sometimes you just want to translate a fragment of data — the title of a weblog article, a date, or a simple signature line 🌸 little baby snippets, basically.

mkd_line and mkd_generateline are the besties that let you do Markdown translations on small blocks of text 🫶

• mkd_line — allocates a buffer, then writes the translated text into that buffer. it's giving "here's your string back, but slayed" 💅
• mkd_generateline — writes the output straight to the specified FILE* 👑

pick whichever one matches your vibe, they do the same translation, just hand you the result differently ✨
