NAME

       lowdown_doc_new — allocate a Markdown parser

LIBRARY

       library “liblowdown”

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/queue.h>
       #include <stdio.h>
       #include <lowdown.h>

       struct lowdown_doc *
       lowdown_doc_new(const struct lowdown_opts *opts);

DESCRIPTION

       Allocates a Markdown parser instance with configuration opts.  If opts is NULL, all values are assumed to
       be zero except for the maximum parse depth, which is fixed at 128.

       The returned instance may be used with multiple invocations of lowdown_doc_parse(3).

RETURN VALUES

       Returns a pointer to the parser or NULL on memory allocation failure.  The returned pointer must be freed
       with a call to lowdown_doc_free(3).

       Any  pointer values in opts, such as those in meta and metaovr, are copied over, so they need not persist
       after being passed to lowdown_doc_new().

EXAMPLES

       The following parses b if length bsz and throws away the result.

             struct lowdown_doc *doc;
             struct lowdown_node *n;

             if ((doc = lowdown_doc_new(NULL)) == NULL)
                     err(1, NULL);
             if ((n = lowdown_doc_parse(doc, NULL, b, bsz, NULL)) == NULL)
                     err(1, NULL);

             lowdown_node_free(n);
             lowdown_doc_free(doc);
