Add support for using markdown-it instead of marked #314
Conversation
markdown-it is the markdown parser used by Visual Studio Code, so using it grants access to a rich ecosystem of plugins.

Found that the id tags created for headers differed from those created by marked, which might catch people out, if they expect markdown-it to be a drop-in replacement. This should be fixed |

Wow thanks a lot for this! Spending a month in New Zealand so I was traveling for the last few days... I'll try to go through it this week or next. Also still need to update Regarding header IDs I would say let's stick with the markdown-it default even if it differs from marked, and rather add a note in the readme that they are different (and add the config instructions for changing it to make it the same as marked). |

To be clear before I start wading into the code base: We want the default markdown-it behaviour, which is to not assign header IDs at all. If so, that's fair. Enjoy New Zealand - here in the UK it's raining non-stop. |

Sry I haven't had any time to review this yet. I haven't forgotten about it though 🙃 |
