Any plans on supporting the extensions from PHP Markdown Extra, specifically definition lists, tables, and abbreviations? A good Markdown implementation that supports these is Discount (http://www.pell.portland.or.us/~orc/Code/discount/).

I've had several requests for MultiMarkdown support (http://fletcherpenney.net/multimarkdown/features/), is PHP Markdown Extra similar to that? I believe MMD supports tables.

Either way, yes, I plan on adding more rendering options for sure.

Support pandoc! I have never introduced pandoc to a markdown/multimarkdown user who did not prefer pandoc. In addition to an extension of markdown syntax pandoc has a remarkable in/export system that works across a large number of formats.
