gomarkdown/markdown is a fast Go library for parsing Markdown text into an AST and rendering it as HTML, with support for common Markdown extensions and customizable renderers. It also powers a companion mdtohtml command-line tool.

Use cases

• convert markdown to html in go
• parse markdown files into an ast
• render user-generated markdown on a website
• customize markdown html rendering
• modify markdown document structure programmatically
• add syntax highlighting to rendered code blocks

When to choose

• you need a fast, extensible markdown parser in a Go application
• you want programmatic access to the markdown AST for transformations
• you need customizable HTML output for markdown content

When to avoid

• you need sanitization of untrusted markdown built in - pair it with bluemonday
• you need a non-Go solution or a full static site generator
• you need CommonMark strict certification guarantees
