MARUKU(1) General Commands Manual MARUKU(1)
NAME
maruku - converts markdown files to various output
SYNOPSIS
maruku [options] [file1.md [file2.md ...]]
DESCRIPTION
maruku is a markdown interpreter: it accepts files written in the mark-
down language and transforms them into HTML, TeX of PDF (using pdfla-
tex). If no file is given on the command-line, maruku acts as a filter
and converts standard input to standard output.

NOTE
An important note for debian users: to prevent a lightweight library
such as libmaruku-ruby to pull in heavy dependencies like texlive, lib-
maruku-ruby does not depend on texlive (but only recommends it). This
means that if you do not install texlive, you will not have PDF output.
