--leave-footnote-reference-space
                        Leave spaces before footnote references.
--no-file-insertion     Disable directives that insert the contents of
                        external file ("include" & "raw"); replaced with a
                        "warning" system message.
--file-insertion-enabled
                        Enable directives that insert the contents of external
                        file ("include" & "raw").  Enabled by default.

                        "warning" system message.
--raw-enabled           Enable the "raw" directive.  Enabled by default.
--syntax-highlight=<format>
                        Token name set for parsing code with Pygments: one of
                        "long", "short", or "none (no parsing)". Default is
                        "long".

                        Inline markup recognized anywhere, regardless of

                        Asian languages. Experimental.
