On December 1st, version 1.3.0 of the console utility and library was released lowdown (significantly improved fork hoedown), written in C and distributed under the ISC license.
The utility allows you to view or convert Markdown files to other formats: Gemini, HTML5, LaTeX, ODT, or roff ($ man roff).
The package also includes the utility lowdown-diff, which allows you to display differences between two Markdown files.
Change log:
- The documentation has been clarified that characters not conforming to the metadata key specification are replaced with underscores instead of question marks, as was previously the case.
- A new key —template has been added, allowing the use of custom templates similar to pandoc (initially for exporting to HTML files using the -thtml key). This is still an experimental feature, so conversions and syntax may change in future versions.
