# The textproc/discount port

## discount-2.2.4 – fast C implementation of Markdown

## Description

    This is David Loren Parsons's implementation of John Gruber's Markdown
    text to html language. There's not much here that differentiates it from
    any of the existing Markdown implementations except that it's written in
    C instead of one of the vast flock of scripting languages that are
    fighting it out for the Perl crown.

    Markdown provides a library that gives you formatting functions suitable
    for marking down entire documents or lines of text, a command-line
    program that you can use to mark down documents interactively or from a
    script, and a tiny suite of example programs that show how to fully
    utilize the markdown library.
