Marked Changelog

An all-new, best-in-class DOCX exporter. Marked can now even open DOCX files and export them as Markdown or any other format.

New Markdown processors built in: CommonMark (with GFM extensions) and Kramdown! Kramdown adds the ability to apply ids, clases, and other attributes to inline and block elements, among other features.

Let’s see, what else?
