> **MÖRK** is a Markdown parser written in pure Gleam, with the ambition to be 100% spec compliant with Commonmark and eventually to implement all of the GFM Markdown extensions as well.
> 
> All Commonmark tests from the spec test suite are now passing.
> 
> NOTE: This is a very early release of a new implementation of the Commonmark spec, not using the C or javascript implementations at all. As such, it is guaranteed to have bugs, differences in output and poor performance. Buyer beware.
