# README
The gomarkdown parser
https://github.com/gomarkdown/markdown
Notes made in late 2023; likely very out of date
GOOD
- It has no open pull requests - responsive owners
- Better documentation than goldmark.
- Clear access to the AST, as the API requires you to hold it in between parse and render.
- The AST has all the document contents.
- It supports block level attributes: {#id3 .myclass fontsize="tiny"}' on (at least) header blocks and code blocks
maybe problems
- It could support mermaid : https://github.com/gomarkdown/markdown/issues/284, but it's not clear if anyone did so.
- The number of contributors is unclear, since it's a fork of blackfriday.
- It has zero official releases at time of writing.
