copied!<ol> <li><p><strong><a href="http://hasseg.org/peg-markdown-highlight/" rel="noreferrer">peg-markdown</a></strong> depends on GLib and other 3rd part tools. I've tested it, it works quite well.</p> <p><strong>Advantages:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Dual-licensed under GPL and MIT.</li> <li>Uses internally formal grammar, so easy to maintain and extend.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Disadvantages:</strong> </p> <ul> <li>Depends on GLib</li> <li>Provides C API.</li> </ul></li> <li><p><strong><a href="http://cpp-markdown.sourceforge.net/" rel="noreferrer">Cpp-Markdown</a>,</strong> Most C++ code but it is quite slow and little bit bloated. On the other hand it is quite easy to understand and modify, Depends on boost-1.35.</p> <p><strong>Advantages</strong></p> <ul> <li>Depends only on boost</li> <li>Written in C++, looks like less dangerous</li> <li>Licensed under MIT.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Disadvantages</strong></p> <ul> <li>Slow (it is still about 10 times faster then Perl implementation, but about 10 times slower than Discount)</li> </ul></li> <li><p><strong><a href="http://www.pell.portland.or.us/~orc/Code/discount/" rel="noreferrer">Discount</a>,</strong> This is the code I use for my blog <a href="http://art-blog.no-ip.info/cppcms/blog" rel="noreferrer">http://art-blog.no-ip.info/cppcms/blog</a> and wiki <a href="http://art-blog.no-ip.info/wikipp/en/page/main" rel="noreferrer">http://art-blog.no-ip.info/wikipp/en/page/main</a>. It is written by hardcore C programmer and quite hardly mantainable (even the developer activly maintains it).</p> <p><strong>Advantages</strong></p> <ul> <li>Extremely fast</li> <li>Written in pure C (no 3rd part dependencies).</li> <li>Actively maintained </li> <li>Has permissive 3 clause BSD license</li> </ul> <p><strong>Disadvantages</strong></p> <ul> <li>Almost impossible to maintain (even I could remove/add some fatures).</li> <li><strike>Has only FILE API, so I should tweak the code to make it work with general buffer</strike>.</li> <li><strike>Licensed under 4 clause BSD license that is incompatible with GPL. It is problematic if you want to use it not as part of your GPL-ed software.</strike></li> </ul></li> </ol> <p>Why do I know them so much?</p> <p>I'm developing <a href="http://cppcms.sourceforge.net" rel="noreferrer">CppCMS</a>, so I need a good markdown to HTML convertor. When I picked one (Discount), it was the only solution. Since then I've needed to replace it due to licensing issues. That said, I still quite like it because it is the fastest Markdown solution.</p> <p>P.S.: If you want C++ wrapper for Discount, take a look on <a href="http://cppcms.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/cppcms/cms/trunk/cxxmarkdown/" rel="noreferrer">http://cppcms.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/cppcms/cms/trunk/cxxmarkdown/</a>, It is not the latest version, but it is already tweaked.</p> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> I have just visited Discount site and I had found that it had added a non-FILE API as well. So now it is real library.</p> <p><strong>EDIT 2:</strong> If you find better implementation or write your own under FOSS license, let me know ;)</p> <p><strong>EDIT 3:</strong> as cloose commented, discount had changed the license to 3 clause BSD.</p>
