+Current version of library.

+.PP
+\fIchar *\f[] \fBcmark_markdown_to_html\f[](\fIconst char *text\f[], \fIint len\f[])
+
+.PP
+Convert \f[I]text\f[] (assumed to be a UTF\-8 encoded string with length
+\f[I]len\f[] from CommonMark Markdown to HTML, returning a null\-terminated,
+UTF\-8\-encoded string.

+Node Structure

+.SS
+Creating and Destroying Nodes
+
+.PP
+\fIcmark_node*\f[] \fBcmark_node_new\f[](\fIcmark_node_type type\f[])
+
+.PP
+Creates a new node of type \f[I]type\f[]\&. Note that the node may have
+other required properties, which it is the caller's responsibility
+to assign.
+
+.PP
+\fIvoid\f[] \fBcmark_node_free\f[](\fIcmark_node *node\f[])
+
+.PP
+Frees the memory allocated for a node.
+
+.SS
+Tree Traversal
+
+.PP
+\fIcmark_node*\f[] \fBcmark_node_next\f[](\fIcmark_node *node\f[])
+
+.PP
+Returns the next node in the sequence after \f[I]node\f[], or NULL if
+there is none.
+
+.PP
+\fIcmark_node*\f[] \fBcmark_node_previous\f[](\fIcmark_node *node\f[])
+
+.PP
+Returns the previous node in the sequence after \f[I]node\f[], or NULL if
+there is none.
+
+.PP
+\fIcmark_node*\f[] \fBcmark_node_parent\f[](\fIcmark_node *node\f[])
+
+.PP
+Returns the parent of \f[I]node\f[], or NULL if there is none.
+
+.PP
+\fIcmark_node*\f[] \fBcmark_node_first_child\f[](\fIcmark_node *node\f[])
+
+.PP
+Returns the first child of \f[I]node\f[], or NULL if \f[I]node\f[] has no children.
+
+.PP
+\fIcmark_node*\f[] \fBcmark_node_last_child\f[](\fIcmark_node *node\f[])
+
+.PP
+Returns the last child of \f[I]node\f[], or NULL if \f[I]node\f[] has no children.
+
+.SS
+Iterator
+.PP
+An iterator will walk through a tree of nodes, starting from a root
+node, returning one node at a time, together with information about
+whether the node is being entered or exited. The iterator will
+first descend to a child node, if there is one. When there is no
+child, the iterator will go to the next sibling. When there is no
+next sibling, the iterator will return to the parent (but with
+a \f[I]cmark_event_type\f[] of \f[C]CMARK_EVENT_EXIT\f[]). The iterator will
+return \f[C]CMARK_EVENT_DONE\f[] when it reaches the root node again.
+One natural application is an HTML renderer, where an \f[C]ENTER\f[] event
+outputs an open tag and an \f[C]EXIT\f[] event outputs a close tag.
+An iterator might also be used to transform an AST in some systematic
+way, for example, turning all level\-3 headers into regular paragraphs.

+ // Do something with `cur` and `ev_type`
+ }
+

+.PP
+Iterators will never return \f[C]EXIT\f[] events for leaf nodes, which are nodes
+of type:

+leaf nodes.

+.PP
+\fIcmark_iter*\f[] \fBcmark_iter_new\f[](\fIcmark_node *root\f[])

+\f[C]CMARK_EVENT_EXIT\f[] or \f[C]CMARK_EVENT_DONE\f[]).

+\fIvoid\f[] \fBcmark_iter_reset\f[](\fIcmark_iter *iter\f[], \fIcmark_node *current\f[], \fIcmark_event_type event_type\f[])
+
+.PP
+Resets the iterator so that the current node is \f[I]current\f[] and
+the event type is \f[I]event_type\f[]\&. The new current node must be a
+descendant of the root node or the root node itself.
