NAME

       cmark - convert CommonMark formatted text to HTML

SYNOPSIS

       cmark [options] file*

DESCRIPTION

       cmark  converts  Markdown  formatted  plain  text  to  either  HTML, groff man, CommonMark XML, LaTeX, or
       CommonMark, using the conventions described in the CommonMark spec.  It reads input  from  stdin  or  the
       specified files (concatenating their contents) and writes output to stdout.

OPTIONS

       --to, -t FORMAT
                   Specify output format (html, man, xml, latex, commonmark).

       --width WIDTH
                   Specify  a  column  width  to which to wrap the output. For no wrapping, use the value 0 (the
                   default).  This option currently only affects the commonmark, latex, and man renderers.

       --hardbreaks
                   Render soft breaks (newlines inside paragraphs in the CommonMark source) as hard line  breaks
                   in  the target format.  If this option is specified, hard wrapping is disabled for CommonMark
                   output, regardless of the value given with --width.

       --nobreaks  Render soft breaks as spaces.  If this option is specified, hard wrapping is disabled for all
                   output formats, regardless of the value given with --width.

       --sourcepos Include source position attribute.

       --validate-utf8
                   Validate UTF-8, replacing illegal sequences with U+FFFD.

       --smart     Use smart punctuation.  Straight double and single quotes will be rendered as  curly  quotes,
                   depending  on their position.  -- will be rendered as an en-dash.  --- will be rendered as an
                   em-dash.  ... will be rendered as ellipses.

       --safe      Omit raw HTML  and  potentially  dangerous  URLs  (default).   Raw  HTML  is  replaced  by  a
                   placeholder   comment   and  potentially  dangerous  URLs  are  replaced  by  empty  strings.
                   Potentially dangerous URLs are those that begin with `javascript:`, `vbscript:`, `file:`,  or
                   `data:` (except for `image/png`, `image/gif`, `image/jpeg`, or `image/webp` mime types).

       --unsafe    Render raw HTML or potentially dangerous URLs, overriding the default (--safe) behavior.

       --help      Print usage information.

       --version   Print version.
