ZMarkdown

This repository contains all the plugins for ZMarkdown, the Markdown engine powering Zeste de Savoir.

It is a collection of packages extending the remark processor and its MDAST syntax tree, rehype (for HTML processing) and textr (text transformation framework). It also provides MDAST to LaTeX compilation via rebber (and its plugins).

Currently, all the plugins provided only work for remark versions lesser than 13.0.0 (i.e. previous to micromark). While we intend to switch to the new system, no due date has been planned, and it requires a significant amount of work, so please be patient, or, even better, help us making the switch!
