Turn a markdown file into a pdf:
```sh
lowdown -stms "$FILE".md | pdfroff -itk -mspdf > "$FILE".pdf
```
*Example:* put [this Makefile](lowdown/example.txt) in a directory, rename it `Makefile`, then do:
```sh
make example
make
```
To give the document a title, put that title in the metadata:
```sh
sed -i "1 i---" "$FILE".md
sed -i 1 ititle: $TITLE $FILE.md
sed -i "1 i---" "$FILE".md
lowdown -L "$FILE".md
lowdown -X title "$FILE".md
lowdown -stms "$FILE".md | pdfroff -itk -mspdf > "$FILE".pdf
```
