Welcome to Mawkdown
Mawkdown is a toy markdown parser written in AWK
It requires GAWK, because it uses the match
function.
Try Mawkdown
Generate html from the README:
awk -f mawkdown.awk README.md
Open README in firefox:
awk -f mawkdown.awk README.md | ./pipefox.sh
Or something simpler:
echo -e "# title\n## subtitle" | awk -f mawkdown.awk
It supports all of these things
Now look at this fine rust
code:
let x = 5;
printf!("{} + {} = {}", x, x, x + x);
here's a link to my other project called digester.
this is not the first time I'm having fun with AWK: awk-jvm.
and here's some quoted text
Sample h3
what does the above code do?
- store the value 5 in the variable x
- call the printf macro

bold with asterisks

What does it look like?
(note that pipefox does not work with relative images)
Limitations
basically any line can only contain one thing
- formatting within a list does not work
- langauge-specific formatting
