Marko
A markdown parser with high extensibility.
Marko is a markdown parser written in pure Python that complies CommonMark's spec v0.28. It is designed to be highly extensible, see Extend Marko for details.
Marko requires Python2.7, Python 3.5 or higher.
Why Marko
Among all implementations of Python's markdown parser, it is a common issue that user can't easily extend it to add his own features. Furthermore, Python-Markdown and mistune don't comply CommonMark's spec. It is a good reason for me to develop a new markdown parser and use it.
Respecting that Marko complies CommonMark's spec at the same time, which is a super complicated spec, Marko's performance will be affected. A benchmark result shows that Marko is 3 times slower than Python-Markdown, but a bit faster than Commonmark-py, much slower than mistune. If performance is a bigger concern to you than spec compliance, you's better choose another parser.
Use Marko
The installation is very simple:
$ pip install marko
And to use it:
from marko import Markdown
markdown = Markdown()
print(markdown(text))
Marko also provides a simple CLI, for example, to render a document and output to a html file:
$ cat my_article.md | marko > my_article.html
