Maruku
A pure-Ruby Markdown-superset interpreter implementing original Markdown, PHP Markdown Extra, and metadata syntax.
What is Maruku?
Maruku is a Markdown interpreter written in pure Ruby that extends the standard Markdown syntax with features from PHP Markdown Extra and adds metadata support. It converts Markdown documents to HTML and LaTeX formats, though the project is considered obsolete and superseded by newer libraries like Kramdown.
Ruby developers who need to process Markdown documents within Ruby applications, particularly those requiring compatibility with PHP Markdown Extra syntax or metadata features.
Maruku offers a pure-Ruby implementation with no external gem dependencies, ensuring broad compatibility across Ruby versions, while providing extended Markdown features not available in basic interpreters.
