Limitations

This packages makes use of the MultiMardown perl scripts to do the actual transform. If you have a copy of MultiMarkdown.pl and want to use it instead of the script included in this package, make sure it is in your PATH, and the package will find and use it.

Since this packages uses perl scripts, you must have perl installed and in your PATH for the transform to work correctly. This package has only been tested on *nix and should work on most flavors of Linux and BSD. Use of this package on a Windows machine could cause errors.
