MKD_CALLBACKS(3)           Library Functions Manual           MKD_CALLBACKS(3)

NAME
     mkd_callbacks - functions that modify link targets

LIBRARY
     Markdown (libmarkdown, -lmarkdown)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <mkdio.h>

     char*
     (*mkd_callback_t)(const char*, const int, void*);

     void
     (*mkd_free_t)(char *, void*);

     void
     mkd_e_url(MMIOT *document, mkd_callback_t edit);

     void
     mkd_e_flags(MMIOT *document, mkd_callback_t edit);

     void
     mkd_e_free(MMIOT *document, mkd_free_t dealloc);

     void
     mkd_e_code(MMIOT *document, mkd_callback_t edit);

     void
     mkd_e_data(MMIOT *document, void *data);

DESCRIPTION
     Discount provides a small set of data access functions to let a library
     user modify the generated html.

     mkd_e_url()
                     modifies the target given in a `[]` link;

     mkd_e_flags()
                     adds additional flags to a `[]` link;

     mkd_e_code()   lets you manipulate the contents of a code block.

     The data access functions are passed a character pointer to the url being
     generated, the size of the url, and a data pointer pointing to a user
     data area (set by the mkd_e_data() function.)     After the callback
     function is called the data freeing function (if supplied) is called and
     passed the character pointer and user data pointer.

EXAMPLE
     The mkd_basename() function (in the module basename.c) is implemented by
     means of mkd callbacks;  it modifies urls that start with a `/' so that
     they begin with a user-supplied url base by allocating a new string and
     filling it with the base + the url.  Discount plugs that url in place of
     the original, then calls the basename free function (it only does this
     when mkd_e_url() or mkd_e_flags() returns nonzero) to deallocate this
     memory.

     Note that only one level of callbacks are supported; if you wish to do
     multiple callbacks, you need to write your own code to handle them all.

BUGS
     Error handling is minimal at best.
