✨ Text::Markup::Multimarkdown ✨

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for Text::Markup::Multimarkdown — the MultiMarkdown parser for Text::Markup, living its best life in the 3pm section of your perl docs. it's giving "tiny module, big personality." let's get into it 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

Text::Markup::Multimarkdown — MultiMarkdown parser for Text::Markup

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

my $html = Text::Markup->new->parse(file => 'README.mmd');
my $raw  = Text::Markup->new->parse(
    file    => 'README.mmd',
    options => [ raw => 1 ],
);

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like, this is the MultiMarkdown <https://fletcherpenney.net/multimarkdown/> parser for Text::Markup. here's the vibe: it reads in the file (relying on a BOM <https://www.unicode.org/unicode/faq/utf_bom.html#BOM> — yes, the byte order mark, she's the main character here), hands it off to Text::MultiMarkdown for parsing, and then returns the generated HTML as an encoded UTF-8 string with an http-equiv="Content-Type" element identifying the encoding as UTF-8. periodt. 💖

it recognizes files with the following extensions as MultiMarkdown:

• .mmd
• .mmkd
• .mmkdn
• .mmdown
• .multimarkdown

want to change the files it recognizes? no problem bestie. load this module directly and pass a regular expression matching the desired extension(s), like so:

use Text::Markup::Multimarkdown qr{mmm+};

normally this module returns the output wrapped in a minimal HTML document skeleton. but if you want the raw output without the skeleton, you can pass the raw option to the format options argument to parse. slay, stripped down, no notes. 🔥

also — and this is the fun part — Text::Markup::Mediawiki supports all of the Text::MultiMarkdown options, including:

• use_metadata
• strip_metadata
• empty_element_suffix
• img_ids
• heading_ids
• bibliography_title
• tab_width
• disable_tables
• disable_footnotes
• disable_bibliography
• disable_definition_lists

not me noticing it literally says Text::Markup::Mediawiki in there 🙈 i am reporting it exactly as written, i do not make the rules, i only relay them faithfully.
