Bug-fix release.
We are happy to release Python-Markdown 2.0, which has been over a year in the
making. We have rewritten significant portions of the code, dramatically
extending the extension API, increased performance, and added numerous
extensions to the distribution (including an extension that mimics PHP Markdown
Extra), all while maintaining backward compatibility with the end user API in
version 1.7.
Markdown is a text-to-HTML conversion tool for web writers. Markdown
allows you to write using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain text
format, then convert it to structurally valid XHTML (or HTML).
This package provides a Python implementation.
