Re: LuaRocks help

It's actually just a matter of editing the rockspec to add:

      bin = { "markdown.lua" },

after

      lua = { "markdown.lua" },

If you edit the rockspec this way and then install the modified
rockspec ("luarocks install /tmp/my_markdown.rockspec"), you'll be
able to run markdown with just:

./bin/markdown.lua < input.txt  > output.html

At least that's how it works on Linux.
