Extend markdown parser

mechanix

Hi,
the markdown parser seems to be very limited (no GFM support like tasklists etc) is there a way to extend the parser to provide more possibilities? Thank you

I am wondering too. Marked!

I agree, it's too limited when you are doing a big post.

Sometimes I miss to be able to use some html tags like <h1> hello </h1> in the middle of a line.

I searched and found a TON of different additional parsers, but most of them just aren't updated in a while. If I have time I can look into updating them, or making a better parser.

Anything else besides GFM that is wanted?

Take a look at this:

It can be done via a Markdown-it plugin: https://www.npmjs.com/browse/keyword/markdown-it-plugin

Possibly this one: https://www.npmjs.com/package/markdown-it-checkbox

If there's interest, I may consider looking into integration with some plugins from npm...

That would be great. Much appreciated.

@julian Please add to the composer so regular users just click and continue writing their posts.

@julian Please integrate mathjax into it! It can be integrated by the CSS. But it is not dynamic. I think its a really important feature.
