# grapho - documentation compiler
I write documentation in markdown.
Many people don't like to read markdown.
`md2html` converts markdown into an HTML page which i can publish directly.
`md2tex` converts marktown into a TEX document, which i compile into a professional-academia-looking PDF using `pdflatex`.
## Usage
The input markdown goes into stdin.
The output document comes out of stdout.
Examples:
```
md2html < README.md > README.html
firefox README.html
md2tex < README.md > README.tex
pdflatex README.tex
```
If the awk option `stylesheet` is given, the HTML document can made prettier with external CSS.
```
md2html -v stylesheet='/style.css' < README.md
```
