.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Pp
.Nm Discount
provides a small set of data access functions to let a
library user modify the targets given in a `[]' link, and to
add additional flags to the generated link.
.Pp
The data access functions are passed a character pointer to
the url being generated, the size of the url, and a data pointer
pointing to a user data area (set by the
.Fn mkd_e_data
function.)     After the callback function is called (either
.Fn mkd_e_url 
or
.Fn mkd_e_flags )
the data freeing function (if supplied) is called and passed the
character pointer and user data pointer.
.Sh EXAMPLE
The
.Fn mkd_basename
function (in the module basename.c) is implemented by means of
mkd callbacks;  it modifies urls that start with a `/' so that
they begin with a user-supplied url base by allocating a new
string and filling it with the base + the url.  Discount plugs
that url in in place of the original, then calls the basename
free function (it only does this when
.Fn mkd_e_url
or
.Fn mkd_e_flags
returns nonzero) to deallocate this memory.
.Pp
Note that only one level of callbacks are supported; if you
wish to do multiple callbacks, you need to write your own
code to handle them all.

Error handling is minimal at best.
