Package libmd4c: Information

MD4C is Markdown parser implementation in C, with the following features.

* Compliance: Generally, MD4C aims to be compliant to the latest version of
CommonMark specification. Currently, we are fully compliant to
CommonMark 0.31.

* Extensions: MD4C supports some commonly requested and accepted extensions.
See below.

* Performance: MD4C is very fast.

* Compactness: MD4C parser is implemented in one source file and one header
file. There are no dependencies other than standard C library.

* Embedding: MD4C parser is easy to reuse in other projects, its API is
very straightforward: There is actually just one function, md_parse().

* Push model: MD4C parses the complete document and calls few callback
functions provided by the application to inform it about a start/end of
every block, a start/end of every span, and with any textual contents.

* Portability: MD4C builds and works on Windows and POSIX-compliant OSes.
(It should be simple to make it run also on most other platforms, at least as
long as the platform provides C standard library, including a heap memory
management.)

* Encoding: MD4C by default expects UTF-8 encoding of the input document.
But it can be compiled to recognize ASCII-only control characters (i.e. to
disable all Unicode-specific code), or (on Windows) to expect UTF-16 (i.e.
what is on Windows commonly called just "Unicode"). See more details below.

* Permissive license: MD4C is available under the MIT license.
