							  <p>Besides using Glyph from the command line, you can also use it straight from your code. Glyph&#8217;s public <a href="http://rubydoc.info/gems/glyph"><span class="caps">API</span></a> is simple and can be used to:</p>
<ul>
	<li>Retrieve and update configuration settings (using <code>Glyph[]</code> and <code>Glyph[]=</code>)</li>
	<li>Filter text to <span class="caps">HTML</span> (using <code>Glyph#filter</code>)</li>
	<li>Compile Glyph source files into <span class="caps">HTML</span> or <span class="caps">PDF</span> files (using <code>Glyph#compile</code>)</li>
</ul>
<p>That&#8217;s pretty much it. Of course, both the <code>filter</code> and <code>compile</code> method cause Glyph to run in <a href="/glyph/book/compiling/lite_mode.html#lite_mode"><em>lite</em> mode</a>, so the same <a href="/glyph/book/compiling/lite_mode.html#lite_limitations">limitations</a> apply.</p>
  <aside class="tip">
<span class="note-title">Tip</span><p>For an example on how to use Glyph programmatically (specifically in conjunction with the <a href="http://nanoc.stoneship.org/">nanoc</a> static site generator), see <a href="http://github.com/h3rald/h3rald">h3rald.com source code</a>, in particular:</p>
<ul>
	<li><a href="http://github.com/h3rald/h3rald/blob/master/lib/glyph_filter.rb">lib/glyph_filter.rb</a> &#8212; using the <code>Glyph#filter</code> method.</li>
	<li><a href="http://github.com/h3rald/h3rald/blob/master/lib/glyph_context.rb">lib/glyph_context.rb</a> &#8212; using the <code>Glyph#compile</code> method to generate <span class="caps">PDF</span> files.</li>
</ul>

</aside>
  <section class="section">
<header><h1 id="modes" class="toc">Modes</h1></header>
<p>It is possible to specify some flags (or "modes") to make Glyph behave slightly different than normal, as shown in the following table (by default, none of these is used).</p>
