The recently imposed "must be logged in" restriction is a response to increased bot traffic on the site. This affects search, commits, and vuxml pages.
Search engines are not blocked. Try using "site:www.freshports.org" and your search terms.
After the ports freeze to fix some stuff, the freeze is over. I have some work to do before FreshPorts can start processing commits again before it can start processing again. I've created an issue for that.

Description:
lowdown is just another Markdown translator. It can output traditional HTML or a document for your troff type-setter of choice, such as groff(1), Heirloom troff, or even mandoc(1). lowdown doesn't require XSLT, Python, or even Perl - it's just clean, secure, open source C code with no dependencies. Its canonical documentation is the lowdown(1) manpage.
