Bug Description
The markdown man page shows a synopsis ending with "[ file ... ]", but only the first file is processed when running it. I tried several combinations of 30 smaller files, and in all cases only the first file was processed.

Out of curiosity, one wonders what should happen when multiple files are listed. The current tool reads its input from a (single) file and spits out HTML to stdout. Should the named files all be read in, and processed as an aggregation?
At the very least, the documentation should match the behavior.
