Markdown in Java

Here is a note to future self about using markdown in java.

There are two pure java libraries I found: pagedown and markdownj.

Pagedown usage:

PegDownProcessor mp = new PegDownProcessor();
String html = mp.markdownToHtml(markup);

Pagedown has a dependency on parboiled.

markdownj usage:

MarkdownProcessor mp = new MarkdownProcessor();
String html = mp.markdown(markup);

markdownj is pure java library with no dependencies.

And there is always strapdownjs, a pure javascript/client side implementation.
