Package: libtext-markdown-perl (1.0.21-1)

Markdown and MultiMarkdown markup languages library

Markdown is a markup language to convert structured text into (X)HTML. Its main design goal is to make the input text as readable as possible. For this, the syntax is highly inspired by the format of plain text email.

Markdown supports features like headers, *emphasis*, code blocks, blockquotes and links. For maximum flexibility, it also allows embedding HTML tags, both within paragraphs (eg. <span>), and at block level (<div>, <table>).

MultiMarkdown is an extension to the Markdown syntax so that more complex documents could be represented, and (ultimately) also converted to other formats than HTML.

This package contains the Text::Markdown and Text::MultiMarkdown modules as found in CPAN. These are different from the original Markdown implementation from John Gruber, which can be found in the "markdown" Debian package. (This CPAN implementation is sensibly slower than the original, but is better maintained.)
