Markdown

Markdown is a simple system of formatting, used on websites such as Wikipedia or GitHub. It uses unobtrusive punctuation characters to create headings and sub-headings, bold and italic text, lists, tables, etc.

Webtrees uses a CommonMark implementation and supports a subset of the markup. It is optionally supported in note records on a per-tree basis.

• GEDCOM-Standard: NOTE.MIME and markdown #222 — support in GEDCOM 7.1

Note: For the Markdown Image Support and the additional Markdown Extensions the MarkdownFactory class needs to be extended by this module. This replacement class also fixes fisharebest/webtrees#4841, so that a pre-formatted markdown block is not rendered as a single line anymore.
