> 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][md-plugins]).
- High speed (see our [benchmarking tests][md-performance])
- Easy to configure for [security][md-security]
- Member of [Google's Assured Open Source Software]
This is a Python port of [markdown-it], and some of its associated plugins.
For more details see: .
For details on [markdown-it] itself, see:
- The __[Live demo]__
- [The markdown-it README][markdown-it-readme]
**See also:** [markdown-it-pyrs] for an experimental Rust binding,
for even more speed!
