Python port of markdown-it. Markdown parsing, done right!
Project description
markdown-it-py
Markdown parser done right.
- Follows the CommonMark spec for baseline parsing
- Configurable syntax: you can add new rules and even replace existing ones.
- Pluggable: Adds syntax extensions to extend the parser (see the plugin list).
- High speed (see our benchmarking tests)
- Safe by default
This is a Python port of markdown-it, and some of its associated plugins. For more details see: https://markdown-it-py.readthedocs.io.
