Subject: [ANN] md2man 1.0.1 (was redcarpet-manpage)


             md2man - write UNIX man pages in Markdown
              https://github.com/sunaku/md2man#readme

--------------------------------------------------------------------
What is it?
--------------------------------------------------------------------

md2man is a Ruby library and command-line program that converts
[Markdown] documents into UNIX man pages (really [Roff] documents)
using [Redcarpet2].

[Roff]: http://troff.org
[Markdown]: http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/
[Redcarpet2]: https://github.com/tanoku/redcarpet

--------------------------------------------------------------------
What is new?
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Breaking changes:

* Renamed the project from "redcarpet-manpage" to "md2man".

  * `RedcarpetManpage::Renderer` is now `Md2Man::Engine`.

  * `RedcarpetManpage::RENDERER` is now `Md2Man::ENGINE`.

* Tagged paragraphs no longer require the first line to begin with
  italic or bold styling.  All that matters is that the subsequent
  lines are indented.

External changes:

* Added md2man(1) executable for command-line usage.

* Added support for all HTML 4.0 and XHTML 1.0 entities.

* Added support for tables, horizontal rules, and more.

* Added `Md2Man::Roff` mixin for advanced Redcarpet2 usage.

* Improved README with some new and revised documentation.

Internal changes:

* Rewrote entire Markdown to Roff conversion from scratch while
  doing TDD.
