Is there a command line version? If not would you accept a pull request for one?

Hi!
For example, batch convert md files to html for user guides
For now we need to write such utility by self, but if it is provided by parser's author, it will be better I think

Such tools are part of compositing engines (using a templating system), as you need to layout the files, i.e. embrace the generated markdown with proper html pre and post prologue + generate navigation/index + you need to have the proper CSS/JS files/libraries around to make sure that the rendering will be pleasant and functional.

So it is a bit out of the scope of a Markdown library. This is more related to a documentation/static website generators. I'm working on such a generator called lunet but it is not yet finished/ready. There are also other established options like Wyam that are using markdig to layout files.

Closing this issue for now, as I don't expect to add such a feature to the core library.
