+MD4C stands for "Markdown for C" and that's exactly what this project
+is about.
+
+MD4C is Markdown parser implementation in C, with the following
+features:
+
+    *Compliance: Generally, MD4C aims to be compliant to the latest
+version of CommonMark specification. Currently, we are fully compliant
+to CommonMark 0.30.
+
+    *Extensions: MD4C supports some commonly requested and accepted
+extensions. See below.
+
+    *Performance: MD4C is very fast.
+
+    *Compactness: MD4C parser is implemented in one source file and
+one header file. There are no dependencies other than standard C
+library.
+
+    *Embedding: MD4C parser is easy to reuse in other projects, its
+API is very straightforward: There is actually just one function,
+md_parse().
+
+    *Push model: MD4C parses the complete document and calls few
+callback functions provided by the application to inform it about a
+start/end of every block, a start/end of every span, and with any
+textual contents.
+
+    *Portability: MD4C builds and works on Windows and
+POSIX-compliant OSes. (It should be simple to make it run also on
+most other platforms, at least as long as the platform provides C
+standard library, including a heap memory management.)
+
+    *Encoding: MD4C by default expects UTF-8 encoding of the input
+document. But it can be compiled to recognize ASCII-only control
+characters (i.e. to disable all Unicode-specific code), or (on
+Windows) to expect UTF-16 (i.e. what is on Windows commonly called
+just "Unicode"). See more details below.
+
+    *Permissive license: MD4C is available under the MIT license.
