int
lowdown_term_rndr(struct lowdown_buf *out, void *arg, const struct lowdown_node *n);

Renders a node tree n created by lowdown_doc_parse(3) or lowdown_diff(3) using the terminal renderer arg as returned by lowdown_term_new(3). The output is written into out, which must be initialised and freed by the caller.

The output consists of UTF-8 encoded characters and ANSI (really ISO/IEC 6429) escape sequences.

The caller is expected to have invoked setlocale(3) to a "UTF-8" character encoding prior to using this function, otherwise UTF-8 sequences will not be properly recognised.

Returns zero on failure to allocate memory, non-zero on success.

The following parses bi of length bsz and outputs in ANSI terminal format.

struct lowdown_buf *out;
struct lowdown_doc *doc;
struct lowdown_node *n;
void *rndr;

	err(1, NULL);

if ((rndr = lowdown_term_new(NULL)) == NULL)
