Documentation: https://xoofx.github.io/markdig
You can try Markdig online and compare it to other implementations on babelmark3
Features
- Very fast parser and html renderer (no-regexp), very lightweight in terms of GC pressure. See benchmarks
- Abstract Syntax Tree with precise source code location for syntax tree, useful when building a Markdown editor.
- Converter to HTML
- Passing more than 600+ tests from the latest CommonMark specs (0.31.2)
- Includes all the core elements of CommonMark:
- including GFM fenced code blocks.
- Extensible architecture
- Even the core Markdown/CommonMark parsing is pluggable, so it allows to disable builtin Markdown/Commonmark parsing (e.g Disable HTML parsing) or change behaviour (e.g change matching
# of a headers with @)
- Roundtrip support: Parses trivia (whitespace, newlines and other characters) to support lossless parse ⭢ render roundtrip. This enables changing markdown documents without introducing undesired trivia changes.
- Built-in with 20+ extensions, including:
- Alerts for GitHub style alerts including:
[!Note], [!Tip], [!Important], [!Warning], [!Caution]
- 2 kind of tables:
- Extra emphasis (inspired from Pandoc - Emphasis and Markdown-it)
- strike through
~~,
- Subscript
~
- Superscript
^
- Inserted
++
- Marked
==
- Special attributes or attached HTML attributes (inspired from PHP Markdown Extra - Special Attributes)
- Definition lists (inspired from PHP Markdown Extra - Definitions Lists)
- Footnotes (inspired from PHP Markdown Extra - Footnotes)
- Auto-identifiers for headings (similar to Pandoc - Auto Identifiers)
- Auto-links generates links if a text starts with
http:// or https:// or ftp:// or mailto: or www.xxx.yyy
- Task Lists inspired from Github Task lists.
- Extra bullet lists, supporting alpha bullet
a. b. and roman bullet (i, ii…etc.)
- Media support for media url (youtube, vimeo, mp4…etc.) (inspired from this CommonMark discussion)
- Abbreviations (inspired from PHP Markdown Extra - Abbreviations)
- Citation text by enclosing
""..."" (inspired by this CommonMark discussion )
- Custom containers similar to fenced code block
::: for generating a proper <div>...</div> instead (inspired by this CommonMark discussion )
- Figures (inspired from this CommonMark discussion)
- Footers (inspired from this CommonMark discussion)
- Mathematics/Latex extension by enclosing
$$ for block and $ for inline math (inspired from this CommonMark discussion)
- Soft lines as hard lines
- Emoji support (inspired from Markdown-it)
- SmartyPants (inspired from Daring Fireball - SmartyPants)
- Bootstrap class (to output bootstrap class)
- Diagrams extension whenever a fenced code block contains a special keyword, it will be converted to a div block with the content as-is (currently, supports
mermaid and nomnoml diagrams)
- YAML Front Matter to parse without evaluating the front matter and to discard it from the HTML output (typically used for previewing without the front matter in MarkdownEditor)
- JIRA links to automatically generate links for JIRA project references (Thanks to @clarkd: https://github.com/clarkd/MarkdigJiraLinker)
- CJK-friendly Emphasis to mitigate a CommonMark specification issue in CJK languages (Thanks to @tats-u: https://github.com/tats-u/markdown-cjk-friendly)
- Relative file links to rewrite links to Markdown files, such as
usage.md#preview, into links to the generated pages, such as usage.html#preview
- Table of Contents to replace a
[TOC] paragraph with a nested list of links to the headings of the document
- Starting with Markdig version
0.20.0+, Markdig is compatible only with NETStandard 2.0, NETStandard 2.1, NETCoreApp 2.1 and NETCoreApp 3.1.
If you are looking for support for an old .NET Framework 3.5 or 4.0, you can download Markdig 0.18.3.
Third Party Extensions
Documentation
Full documentation is available at https://xoofx.github.io/markdig — covering getting started, usage, all extensions, and the developer guide for writing custom parsers and renderers.
For detailed specs and corner cases of each extension, see the specs documentation.
For a “behind the scene” article about Markdig, see the blog post “Implementing a Markdown Engine for .NET”.
Download
Markdig is available as a NuGet package:
Also Markdig.Signed NuGet package provides signed assemblies.
Usage
The main entry point for the API is the Markdig.Markdown class:
By default, without any options, Markdig is using the plain CommonMark parser:
var result = Markdown.ToHtml("This is a text with some *emphasis*");
Console.WriteLine(result); // prints: <p>This is a text with some <em>emphasis</em></p>
In order to activate most of all advanced extensions (except Emoji, SoftLine as HardLine, Bootstrap, YAML Front Matter, JiraLinks and SmartyPants)
// Configure the pipeline with all advanced extensions active
var pipeline = new MarkdownPipelineBuilder().UseAdvancedExtensions().Build();
var result = Markdown.ToHtml("This is a text with some *emphasis*", pipeline);
Try it online!
You can have a look at the MarkdownExtensions that describes all actionable extensions (by modifying the MarkdownPipeline)

Credits
Thanks to the fantastic work done by John Mac Farlane for the CommonMark specs and all the people involved in making Markdown a better standard!
This project would not have been possible without this huge foundation.
Thanks also to the project BenchmarkDotNet that makes benchmarking so easy to setup!
Some decoding part (e.g HTML EntityHelper.cs) have been re-used from CommonMark.NET
Thanks to the work done by @clarkd on the JIRA Link extension, now included with this project!
