README

DISCOUNT is a implementation of John Gruber's Markdown markup
language.   It implements, as far as I can tell, all of the
language as described in
<http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax>
and passes the Markdown test suite at
<http://daringfireball.net/projects/downloads/MarkdownTest_1.0.zip>

DISCOUNT is free software written by David Parsons <orc@pell.chi.il.us>;
it is released under a BSD-style license that allows you to do
as you wish with it as long as you don't attempt to claim it as
your own work.

Most of the programs included in the DISCOUNT distribution have
manual pages describing how they work.

The file INSTALL describes how to build and install discount
