# markdent-html(1p)

Turn Markdown into HTML with Markdent

## NAME

markdent-html - Turn Markdown into HTML with Markdent

## VERSION

version 0.40

## SYNOPSIS

```
    $> markdent-html --file ./path/to/text.md
```

## DESCRIPTION

This tool turns Markdown into HTML using Markdent.

## OPTIONS

This tool accepts the following command line options:

### --file

The file containing the Markdown to process. You must provide this or `"--text"`, but not both.

Pass `"-"` to read from `"STDIN"`.

### --text

The Markdown text to process. You must provide this or `"--file"`, but not both.

### --title

If you pass then the output will be a full HTML document containing this as the `"<title>"` tag. If this isn't passed then the output will be a HTML fragment with no `"<html>"` or `"<body>"` tags.

### --charset

If you pass with a `"--title"` it will be used to populate a `"<meta` `charset="...">"` tag for the document.

### --language

If you pass with a `"--title"` it will be used to set the `"lang"` attribute for the document's `"<html>"` tag.

### --dialects

You can add one or more dialects to the standard parser with this option. This can either be a full class name like `"Markdent::Dialect::GitHub"` or just a short name like `"GitHub"`.
