☄️ MarkdownSyntax
MarkdownSyntax is a wrapper on top of the Github Flavoured Markdown that conforms to mdast. It parses markdown and creates a normalized AST so you can use it not only for rendering markdown and syntax highlighting. In addition, you can render to standard cmark formats HTML, XML, Man, Latex, Plain Text.
