Penney's extension of John Gruber's Markdown, created to keep Markdown's readable plain-text writing style while adding document-oriented features and additional output formats. Penney's own description says MultiMarkdown began as a Perl script modified from Markdown.pl; later versions became a standalone converter and syntax family. MultiMarkdown Software describes Penney as the author and summarizes the format as a Markdown superset for converting minimally formatted text into HTML, LaTeX, and other formats. ### Project history Technically, MultiMarkdown's role is not just "Markdown to HTML." It adds features such as tables, footnotes, citations, metadata, and smart typography, and it targets workflows that end in HTML, LaTeX/PDF, OPML, and OpenDocument/Flat OpenDocument files that can be carried into word processors. The Homebrew package exposes both the main `multimarkdown` command and convenience front ends such as `mmd2pdf`, `mmd2tex`, `mmd2epub`, `mmd2odt`, and `mmd2opml`, making it a document-conversion package rather than only a web publishing filter. ### How it is used Its ecosystem niche overlaps with Pandoc, Markdown processors, and editor-integrated previewers, but MultiMarkdown is distinctive for being both a syntax specification and a compact conversion tool with a long Mac/document-authoring lineage. Package managers such as Homebrew, MacPorts, Nix, and Linux distributions carry it for users who want repeatable command-line document builds without adopting a larger universal converter. ### Sources - - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** multimarkdown - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Conflicts With:** discount, markdown, mtools - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - Nix - multimarkdown: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/mu/multimarkdown/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - dnf - multimarkdown - 6.7.0-22.fc44: normalized package name match | Fedora Rawhide package metadata: multimarkdown from https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/Everything/x86_64/os/repodata/e5ca8ce900cd68f5419e1c39ae517343100b306336cbaeb70a3c153121d95094-primary.xml.zst | Lightweight markup processor to produce HTML, LaTeX, and more | https://fletcher.github.io/MultiMarkdown-6/ - MacPorts - multimarkdown: normalized package name match | MacPorts ports tree: textproc/multimarkdown/Portfile from https://api.github.com/repos/macports/macports-ports/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Related links - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [cmake](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/cmake/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [hevea](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/hevea/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, document-conversion, html, latex, productivity. - [latex2html](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/latex2html/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, document-conversion, html, latex, productivity. - [latex2rtf](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/latex2rtf/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, document-conversion, latex, productivity. - [marp-cli](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/marp-cli/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, html, markdown, productivity. - [pandemics](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/pandemics/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, document-conversion, markdown, productivity. - [rtf2latex2e](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/rtf2latex2e/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, document-conversion, latex, productivity. - [a2ps](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/a2ps/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, document-conversion, productivity. - [backlog-md](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/backlog-md/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, markdown, productivity. - [feishu2md](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/feishu2md/) - Both packages work with overlapping file formats or content types.
