md¶

render a Markdown file on the console
NAME
    md - render a Markdown file on the console

SYNOPSIS
    md [-p] file.md

DESCRIPTION
    Renders a Markdown file as styled, paged console text, so the
    project documentation in /docs reads well at the machine itself:

        md /docs/GFXGUIDE.MD

    Headings print bold (levels 1-2 underlined), prose word-wraps at
    78 columns, lists keep a hanging indent, > quotes carry a  |
    gutter, fenced code prints verbatim and dim, tables are re-emitted
    with aligned columns, and [text](url) links print as text (url).
    Inline **bold** and `code` become terminal attributes. Styling is
    plain ANSI SGR escapes -- any ordinary terminal emulator shows
    them; -p suppresses every escape for dumb terminals (the layout is
    identical).

    Output pauses every 22 lines at a --More-- prompt, exactly like
    more: any key continues, q quits.

    The subset is deliberately small; anything outside it (nested
    emphasis, underscores, HTML) passes through as prose, so rendering
    never fails.

FILES
    /docs/*.MD      the project documentation library, installed by the
                    disk build (README, GLOSSARY, the graphics theory
                    and guide, the BASIC guide, monitor and system
                    design notes)
