text-to-HTML conversion library/tool (documentation)

 Markdown is a text-to-HTML conversion tool for web writers. Markdown
 allows you to write using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain text
 format, then convert it to structurally valid XHTML (or HTML).
 .
 This is a Python implementation of John Gruber's Markdown. The current
 version of python-markdown implements all Markdown syntax features and
 fully passes Markdown Test Suite 1.0. It also supports footnotes and
 attributes.

 This package contains HTML documentation files for python-markdown.
