I am not sure what this means.

$ cat foo | clisp

should work just fine; reading *standard-input* will give you the
content of foo.

I don't understand what you mean, sorry.

all errors should be copied into the email verbatim.

It is extremely unidiomatic to use "nil" for arglist.
`(defun main () ...)` looks much better.

why not just read from *standard-input* ?

>     (format t (alexandria.0.dev:read-file-into-string tmp-md :external-format "utf-8")))

it's a very bad idea to pass a string to format as the format string.
you will get an error if your (alexandria...) returns a string
containing "~".

You should use princ or at least (format t "~A" (alexandria...))

Good luck.
