  # Earmark—A Pure Elixir Markdown Processor

  ## Dependency

      { :earmark, "> x.y.z" }

  ## Usage

  ### API

      html_doc = Earmark.to_html(markdown)

      html_doc = Earmark.to_html(markdown, options)
  
  (See the documentation for `to_html` for options)

  ### Command line

      $ mix escript.build
      $ ./earmark file.md

  ## Supports

  Standard [Gruber markdown][gruber].

  [gruber]: <http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax>

  ## Extensions

  ### Tables

  Github Flavored Markdown tables are supported

          State | Abbrev | Capital
          ----: | :----: | -------
          Texas | TX     | Austin
          Maine | MN     | Augusta

  Tables may have leading and trailing vertical bars on each line

          | State | Abbrev | Capital |
          | ----: | :----: | ------- |
          | Texas | TX     | Austin  |
          | Maine | MN     | Augusta |

  Tables need not have headers, in which case all column alignments
  default to left.

          | Texas | TX     | Austin  |
          | Maine | MN     | Augusta |

  Currently we assume there are always spaces around interior vertical
  bars. It isn't clear what the expectation is.

  ### Adding HTML attributes

  HTML attributes can be added to any block-level element. We use
  the Kramdown syntax: add the line `{:` _attrs_ `}` following the block.

  _attrs_ can be one or more of:

  * `.className`
  * `#id`
  * name=value, name="value", or name='value'

  For example:

          # Warning
          {: .red}

          Do not turn off the engine
          if you are at altitude.
          {: .boxed #warning spellcheck="true"}

  ## Limitations

  * Nested block-level HTML is correctly handled only if each HTML
    tag appears on its own line. So

          <div>
          <div>
          hello
          </div>
          </div>

    will work. However. the following won't

          <div><div>
          hello
          </div></div>

  * John Gruber's tests contain an ambiguity when it comes to 
    lines that might be the start of a list inside paragraphs.
   
    One test says that

          This is the text
          * of a paragraph
          that I wrote

    is a single paragraph. The "*" is not significant. However, another
    test has

          *   A list item
              * an another

    and expects this to be a nested list. But, in reality, the second could just
    be the continuation of a paragraph.

    I've chosen always to use the second interpretation—a line that looks like
    a list item will always be a list item.

  alias Earmark.Options

  @doc """
  Given a markdown document (as either a list of lines or 
  a string containing newlines), return an HTML representation.

  The options are a `%Earmark.Options{}` structure:

  * `renderer`: ModuleName

    The module used to render the final document. Defaults to 
    `Earmark.HtmlRenderer`

  * `gfm`: boolean

    True by default. Turns on Github Flavored Markdown extensions

  * `breaks`: boolean
  
    Only applicable if `gfm` is enabled. Makes all line breaks
    significant (so every line in the input is a new line in the
    output.

  * `smartypants`: boolean

    Turns on smartypants processing, so quotes become curly, two
    or three hyphens become en and em dashes, and so on. True by
    default.

  So, to format the document in `original` and disable smartypants,
  you'd call

      alias Earmark.Options
      result = Earmark.to_html(original, %Options{smartypants: false})
