# EXPERIMENTAL Markdown processor with minimal dependencies.
# Meant to support all features of John Grubers basic Markdown
# + a number of common extensions, mostly inspired by Pandoc Markdown
-#
-# ToDo:
-# - HTML processing / escaping (according to environment flag)
-# - em-dashes and arrows
# Supported Features / TODO:
# ==========================
# - [ ] Definition lists (php md, pandoc)
# - [-] Numbered example lists (pandoc)
# - [-] Metadata blocks (pandoc)
+# - [x] Metadata blocks (custom)
# - [x] Fenced Divs (pandoc)
