kramdown is yet-another-markdown-parser but fast, pure Ruby, using a strict syntax definition and supporting several common extensions. The syntax definition for the kramdown syntax can be found in doc/syntax.page and a quick reference is available in doc/quickref.page.
The kramdown library is mainly written to support the kramdown-to-HTML conversion chain. However, due to its flexibility it supports other input and output formats as well. Here is a list of the supported formats:
All the documentation on the available input and output formats is available in the doc/ directory and online at kramdown.rubyforge.org.
kramdown has a basic *Cloth API, so using kramdown is as easy as
require 'kramdown' Kramdown::Document.new(text).to_html
For detailed information have a look at the API documentation of the Kramdown::Document class.
The full API documentation is available at kramdown.rubyforge.org/rdoc/, other sites with an API documentation for kramdown probably don‘t provide the complete documentation!
Just clone the git repository as described in doc/installation.page and you are good to go. You probably want to install `rake` so that you can use the provided rake tasks. Aside from that:
GPLv3 - see the COPYING file.
