textproc/py-markdown 3.6 DragonFly

Python-Markdown is a Python implementation of John Gruber's Markdown. It is almost completely compliant with the reference implementation, though there are a few known issues.

In addition to the basic markdown syntax, Python-Markdown supports the following features:

• International Input: Python-Markdown will accept input in any language supported by Unicode including bi-directional text. In fact the test suite includes documents written in Russian and Arabic.
• Extensions: Various extensions are provided (including extra) to change and/or extend the base syntax. Additionally, a public Extension API is available to write your own extensions.
• Output Formats: Python-Markdown can output documents with either HTML or XHTML style tags. See the Library Reference for details.
• Command Line Interface: In addition to being a Python Library, a command line script is available for your convenience.
