Markdown Parser

This is a parser for the Markdown markup language. This is the default parser for render_engine pages.

Markdown is a lightweight markup language with plain text formatting syntax. It is designed so that it can be converted to HTML and many other formats using a tool by the same name.

The underlying parser is python-markdown2.
