List of supported converters from upstream README.md: markdown |
libtext-multimarkdown-perl | pandoc
Also available in Debian: discount | python3-markdown
Also from the README
`markdown-command` - the command used to run Markdown (default:
`markdown`)
Given that markdown-mode is configured upstream to use "bin:markdown",
it seems more reasonable (and easy!) to just Recommends markdown, and
then add a list of alternatives to Suggests. This way it works out of
the box, and the user can consult Suggests when interpreting the
upstream README.md.
One thing I'm not sure about is if "discount | python3-markdown"
should be included in the list of Suggests... They both claim to pass
the Markdown 1.0 test suite, and including these alternatives seems
like a good-neighbourly thing to, so I'm leaning towards including
them.
