h1. Flatiron

A parser and HTML renderer for the "Textile markup language":https://web.archive.org/web/20021226034931/http://textism.com/article/648/ , written in rust.

bq. "she's an outlaw loose and runnin' came the whisper from each lip, and she's here to do -REDACTED- with the flatiron on her hip..." 🎵

h2. Principles

"It should do what it says on the iron!" -- Autumn, just now, writing this.

Flatiron aims to be:

• Simple -- It's just a flat piece of iron with a handle on it! You heat it up! It works!
• Sturdy -- Made of iron alloyed with pure XHTML!
• Opinionated -- A flatiron that knows how to center images! How? don't ask me!
• Better than that other guy's -- No wait you don't get it, the rust makes it safer to use!

h2. Usage

The flatiron can be warmed on a stove pipe:

bc. $ cat sample.textile | flatiron
