A Java port of Markdown, the text-to-html conversion tool
MarkdownJ Quick Start
This quick start assumes a basic familiarity with Java.
MarkdownJ as a standalone application
MarkdownJ can be used from the command line as a simple text2html conversion utility. The
textfile to be converted is read in on stdin and the resulting html is output to stdout.
- Make sure your classpath includes markdownj-0.1.0.jar.
- Launch MarkdownJ with "
java com.petebevin.markdown.MarkdownProcessor < textfile > htmlfile".
MarkdownJ as a library in another Java application
The primary use of MarkdownJ is as a class library to be invoked in your Java application.
- Make sure your application classpath includes markdownj-0.1.0.jar.
- Use the following sample code to invoke MarkdownJ "
m = new MarkdownProcessor(); String html = m.markdown("This is a *simple* test.");".
