It's just clean, secure, open source C code with +no dependencies. Its canonical documentation is lowdown(1) for the +formatter, lowdown(5) for the syntax, and the library interface at +lowdown(3). + +lowdown started as a fork of hoedown to add sandboxing (pledge(2), +capsicum(4), or sandbox_init(3)) and roff output to securely generate +PDFs on OpenBSD with just mandoc(1). + +It has grown to admit many more extensions and outputs, and can even be +used to show the difference between two Markdown documents with +lowdown-diff, documented as the lowdown diffing engine. This uses a +tree-based difference algorithm to show semantically-valid Markdown +differences. |
