.SH
DESCRIPTION
.SS
Simple Interface

.PP
.nf
\fC
.RS 0n
#define CMARK_VERSION "0.1"
.RE
\f[]
.fi

.PP
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.

.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.
