outFile defaults

The default behaviour is to guess file path by a few possible properties of the data:

• if data.url is defined, append .html and use that.
• if data.header.path is defined, replace extension to .html and use that.
• if nothing matches call the onInvalidPath handler with undefined file name.

showdownOptions defaults

This package uses a sligthly modified defaults compared to the official Showdown defaults:

{
	simpleLineBreaks: true,
	ghCompatibleHeaderId: true,
	customizedHeaderId: true,
	tables: true,
}
