## md2gmi

Convert Markdown to Gemini [gemtext](https://gemini.circumlunar.space/docs/gemtext.gmi) markup with
Go. Working with streams and pipes for UNIX like behavior utilizing Go channels. Processing streams
line by line is slightly more complex than it needs to be as I'm playing with channels and state
machines here.

Internally md2gmi does a 1st pass that constructs the blocks of single lines for gemtext. This is
then streamed to the 2nd pass line by line. The 2nd pass will convert links, fix headings and stream
line by line to the output sink. The sink is either a file or stdout.

### Usage

```plain
Usage of ./md2gmi:
  -i string
        specify a .md (Markdown) file to read from, otherwise stdin (default)
  -o string
        specify a .gmi (gemtext) file to write to, otherwise stdout (default)
```

### Example

    go get github.com/n0x1m/md2gmi
    cat file.md | md2gmi
    md2gmi -i file.md -o file.gmi
