=head1 Perl bindings for the CommonMark C library

This module is a wrapper around I<libcmark>, the official CommonMark C
library.

=head2 Installation of libcmark

Please note that the I<libcmark> API isn't stable yet. This version of the
Perl bindings is targeted at I<libcmark>
L<version 0.23.0|https://github.com/jgm/cmark/releases/tag/0.23.0>.
It's known to work with 0.21.0, but there's no guarantee that it can be
compiled with versions higher than 0.23.0.
Also note that upgrading libcmark may require recompilation of the Perl
module.

    curl -LJO https://github.com/jgm/cmark/archive/0.23.0.tar.gz
    tar xzf cmark-0.23.0.tar.gz
    cd cmark-0.23.0
    make [INSTALL_PREFIX=/prefix]
    make test
    make install

See the I<libcmark> README for details.

=head2 Installation from a CPAN tarball

If I<libcmark> is in a standard location:

    perl Makefile.PL
    make
    make test
    make install

Otherwise:

    perl Makefile.PL \
        INC="-I/prefix/include" \
        LIBS="-L/prefix/lib -lcmark"
    make
    make test
    make install

See the documentation of I<ExtUtils::MakeMaker> for additional options.
The I<PERL_MM_OPT> environment variable is especially useful.

    export PERL_MM_OPT='INC="-I..." LIBS="-L... -lcmark"'

=head2 Build from a repository checkout 

You need I<Dist::Zilla> with the external plugin I<MakeMaker::Awesome>.
Then you can build and test with I<dzil>:

    dzil test
    dzil build
