First shots at the included Markdown parser:

  • Out of the box, it supports "smartypants" style converting of quotes, ellipses, and em-dashes to the typographically correct glyphs.
  • Also supports footnotes.
  • Images placed on a line by their own are placed inside a <div class="figure"> with the alt text also placed within a nested <p class="caption">. This is nice, would be better to use <figure> and <figcaption>
  • If there is any documentation on Racket's Markdown, I couldn't find it in 15 minutes of digging.
