lowdown_latex_rndr3

Render markdown into latex

Usage

#include <sys/queue.h>

#include <stdio.h>

#include <lowdown.h>

int

lowdown_latex_rndr(struct lowdown_buf *out, void *arg, const struct lowdown_node *n);

Library

library “liblowdown”

Overview

Renders a node tree n created by lowdown_doc_parse(3) or lowdown_diff(3) using the LaTeX renderer arg as returned by lowdown_latex_new(3). The output is written into out, which must be initialised and freed by the caller.

Return values

Returns zero on failure to allocate memory, non-zero on success.

Examples

The following parses b of length bsz and outputs in LaTeX format.

struct lowdown_buf *out;
struct lowdown_doc *doc;
struct lowdown_node *n;
void *rndr;
if ((doc = lowdown_doc_new(NULL)) == NULL)
	err(1, NULL);
if ((n = lowdown_doc_parse(doc, NULL, b, bsz, NULL)) == NULL)
	err(1, NULL);
if ((out = lowdown_buf_new(256)) == NULL)
	err(1, NULL);
if ((rndr = lowdown_latex_new(NULL)) == NULL)
	err(1, NULL);
if (!lowdown_latex_rndr(out, rndr, n))
	err(1, NULL);
fwrite(out->data, 1, out->size, stdout);
lowdown_latex_free(rndr);
lowdown_buf_free(out);
lowdown_node_free(n);
lowdown_doc_free(doc);
