GPL-licensed [Ruby](http://www.ruby-lang.org) library for parsing a  
superset of Markdown. It is completely written in Ruby, supports  
standard Markdown (with some minor modifications) and various  
extensions that have been made popular by the [PHP Markdown Extra]  
package and [Maruku].

## kramdown 0.3.0 released

The HTML block syntax was changed in this release sothat using raw HTML  
blocks works more naturally and the rules are easier to remember. This  
also lead to the creation of a completely new HTML block parser. Apart  
from that, there have also been some bug fixes.

Another important change is that kramdown now also runs under Ruby  
1.8.5.
