  "A CommonMark document
=============

1. here is a list
2. with another item

    this is some code

A regular paragraph")

;; Parses the CommonMark.
(define doc-sxml (commonmark->sxml doc))

(sxml->xml doc-sxml)

Requirements

• pkg-config

Installation

Download the latest tarball and run:

./configure
make
sudo make install

This will install guile-commonmark with the prefix /usr/local/. This is not in the default load path for GNU Guile. You may choose to change the prefix to your GNU Guile's location with ./configure --prefix=/usr or add /usr/local/ to GNU Guile's load path in your .profile or .bash_profile like this (replacing 2.2 with your GNU Guile version):

export GUILE_LOAD_PATH="/usr/local/share/guile/site/2.2${GUILE_LOAD_PATH:+:}$GUILE_LOAD_PATH"
export GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH="/usr/local/lib/guile/2.2/site-ccache${GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH:+:}$GUILE_COMPILED_LOAD_PATH"

To build from git requires Autoconf and Automake.

./bootstrap
./configure
make
make install

To install from a recent version of git using Guix.

guix package -f guix.scm
