This is an implementation of Markdown that produces HTML suitable for World of Warcraft's SimpleHTML, which supports only a very limited number of HTML tags.

LibMarkdown is heavily based on the Lua markdown library created by Niklas Frykholm and further developed by Peter Melnichenko.

All versions of this code are released under the MIT License, including this library.

Why Markdown?

Simply put, markdown is easier to read, write, and edit than HTML, and that simplicity makes it easier to produce clean-looking HTML in SimpleHTML frames.

For example, documentation blocks in code can be created quickly and easily, without having to worry that you forgot to close the right tags.
