# md2edp(1)

extract freefem code form Markdown file

## NAME

md2edp - extract freefem code form Markdown file

## SYNOPSIS

**md2edp script1.md \[script2.md ...\]**

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the scope of the  **md2edp** command.

**md2edp** extracts freefem code form Markdown file.

FreeFEM can now run Markdown (.md) files as well as .edp files. Markdown can be used to document your FreeFEM scripts (see for example the .md files in the examples/examples directory). When running a .md file, FreeFEM will execute the code contained in the FreeFEM code blocks, delimited by Square brackets.

Documented Markdown examples in the distribution can be viewed on the documentation website (toggle Search in examples). Markdown can be previewed with e.g Visual Studio Code, with the FreeFEM VS Code extension providing syntax highlighting for FreeFEM code blocks.
