md2roff

Prerequisites

• A lex (I used flex, should be pretty portable though)
• GNU Make
• A C99 compiler (I used GCC)

How??

• make it
• Pipe your Markdown input to md2roff

How?? (Part 2) (for UNIX noobs using groff)

./md2roff markdown.md | groff -ms -Tpdf >output.pdf

How?? (Part 2) (for UNIX chads using Heirloom Doctools)

./md2roff markdown.md | troff -ms | dpost >output.ps

Why??

Pandoc can do the same I think but it is written in Haskell and I don't use any Haskell programs so I tried to install Pandoc and it had too many dependencies so I decided to write my own alternative.
