Markdown Discuss - Apr 2016 - Markdown Tools Directory - Open Source Plain Text to HTML n LaTeX Converter Tools n Libraries - Add More Tools!

Hello,

   I've put together a new directory listing markdown tools [1] for
converting plain text to html n latex.

   The directory is powered by simple datafile in yaml in the public
domain e.g. tools.yml:

  - title:    pandoc
    author:   John MacFarlane et al
    formats:  [html,latex]
    github:   jgm/pandoc
    web:      http://pandoc.org
    language: haskell
    ...

   So far markdown converters (sorted by github stars) include:

 - marked
 - pandoc
 - parsedown
 - php markdown
 - python markdown
 - kramdown
 - etc.

   Anything missing? Additions welcome [2]. Cheers.

Hello,

  Thanks to Aslak Raanes for adding Mistune, Libsoldout, Blackfriday &
Python-Markdown to the Markdown Tools list [1].

  I've also added a one-liner description from the github project
sites.  Anything missing? Additions welcome [2]. Cheers.

PS: By the way - love the names e.g. Sold Out!  or Black Friday  -
when I search for markdown usually half the results are about markdown
madness (that is, buy now - cheap prices, etc.) or fund manager
marking down their investments ;-)   Anyways, looks like I'm just
talking to myself on this markdown list.
