NAME
.PP
\f[B]cmark\f[] \- CommonMark parsing, manipulating, and rendering

.SH
DESCRIPTION
.SS
Simple Interface

.PP
\fIchar *\f[] \fBcmark_markdown_to_html\f[](\fIconst char *text\f[], \fIsize_t len\f[], \fIint options\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.

.SS
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.
.IP
.nf
\f[C]
void
usage_example(cmark_node *root) {
    cmark_event_type ev_type;
    cmark_iter *iter = cmark_iter_new(root);

    while ((ev_type = cmark_iter_next(iter)) != CMARK_EVENT_DONE) {
        cmark_node *cur = cmark_iter_get_node(iter);
        // Do something with `cur` and `ev_type`
    }

    cmark_iter_free(iter);
}
\f[]
.fi
.PP
Iterators will never return \f[C]EXIT\f[] events for leaf nodes, which
are nodes of type:

CMARK_NODE_HTML
.IP \[bu] 2
CMARK_NODE_CUSTOM_BLOCK
.IP \[bu] 2
CMARK_NODE_HRULE

.IP \[bu] 2
CMARK_NODE_CODE
.IP \[bu] 2

\f[C]ENTER\f[] event for leaf nodes.

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

(\f[C]CMARK_EVENT_ENTER\f[], \f[C]CMARK_EVENT_EXIT\f[] or

.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
