Markdown – Converting and rendering markdown documents inside TeX
The package provides facilities for the conversion of markdown and YAML markup to plain TeX. These are provided both in form of a Lua module and in form of plain TeX, LaTeX, and ConTeXt macro packages that enable the direct inclusion of markdown and YAML documents inside TeX documents.
