+# NAME
+
+hsmarkdown - convert markdown-formatted text to HTML
+
+# SYNOPSIS
+
+**hsmarkdown [*input-file*]...**
+
+# DESCRIPTION
+
+`hsmarkdown` converts markdown-formatted text to HTML. It is designed
+to be usable as a drop-in replacement for John Gruber's `Markdown.pl`.
+
+If no *input-file* is specified, input is read from STDIN.
+Otherwise, the *input-files* are concatenated (with a blank
+line between each) and used as input.  Output goes to STDOUT by
+default.  For output to a file, use shell redirection:
+
+    hsmarkdown input.txt > output.html
+
+`hsmarkdown` uses the UTF-8 character encoding for both input and output.
+If your local character encoding is not UTF-8, you should pipe input
+and output through `iconv`:
+
+    iconv -t utf-8 input.txt | hsmarkdown | iconv -f utf-8
+
+`hsmarkdown` is implemented as a wrapper around `pandoc`(1).  It
+calls `pandoc` with the options `--from markdown --to html
+--strict` and disables all other options.  (Command-line options
+will be interpreted as filenames, as they are by `Markdown.pl`.)
+
+# SEE ALSO
+
+`pandoc`(1).  The *README*
+file distributed with Pandoc contains full documentation.
+
+The Pandoc source code and all documentation may be downloaded from
+<http://sophos.berkeley.edu/macfarlane/pandoc/>.
