The FromMarkdown command converts a Markdown file to a Maple worksheet.

The source document can be given as a string directly in the command, or as the name of a file that contains the source. This is determined by the source = s option:

When the option source = string is given, Maple interprets str itself as the Markdown source.

When the option source = file is given, Maple interprets str as the path to a file containing the Markdown source.

When the option source = auto is given, Maple checks if there is a file named str (using FileTools:-Exists). If so, it acts as if source = file was given. If not, it acts as if source = string was given.

The default behavior is given by the option source = auto.

The result can be returned as XML, inserted into the current worksheet, or displayed as a new worksheet. This is determined by the output = o option:

When the option output = xml is given, this command returns the resulting worksheet as XML. This is the only value of the output option that can be used in the command-line version of Maple.

When the option output = insert is given, this command inserts the resulting worksheet into the current worksheet using the DocumentTools:-InsertContent command.

When the option output = display is given, this command shows the resulting worksheet as a new, separate worksheet.

The default behaviour is given by the option output = xml.

=============

Here is a paragraph of text with *italics* and **bold text**.

Another paragraph. Note that line
breaks and multiple      spaces are ignored. Here is a

Here is a third paragraph.

## Another small heading

Note that the Markdown parser also supports limited LaTeX formulas, like $(x + y)/z^2$.
