If input_pathname and output_pathname are specified, outputs HTML files
into the corresponding subdirectories of output_pathname. If one or both is
not specified, simply ensures the files exist and contain valid Markdown.
Args:
input_filenames: A list of filenames (absolute, or relative to $PWD) of
Markdown files to parse and possibly render.
input_pathname: The base directory of the input files. (Needed so they
can be placed in the same relative path in the output path.)
output_pathname: The output directory into which rendered Markdown files
go, using that relative path.
extensions: a list of Markdown.extensions to apply if any.
Returns:
nothing
Raises:
IOError: if any of the file operations fail (e.g. input_filenames
contains a non-existent file).
