  Description     : Markdown parser and HTML renderer for Go

 Package github.com/gomarkdown/markdown is a Go library for parsing
 Markdown text and rendering as HTML.
 .
 It's very fast and supports common extensions.
 .                                         
 markdown is a fork of v2 of https://github.com/russross/blackfriday
 that is:
 .
  * actively maintained (sadly in Feb 2018 blackfriday was inactive for 5
    months with many bugs and pull requests accumulated)
  * refactored API (split into ast/parser/html sub-packages)
 .
 Blackfriday itself was based on C implementation sundown
 (https://github.com/vmg/sundown) which in turn was based on libsoldout
 (http://fossil.instinctive.eu/libsoldout/home).

Reason for packaging:
 Required by golang-github-mmarkdown-mmark (See ITP at #916202)
