markdown processing
remark is an extensible Markdown processor that parses Markdown into an AST and transforms it with plugins, part of the unified collective.
Solves the same problem with a different architecture or at a different layer. Expect to rewrite the integration.

These projects were analysed and named remark among their alternatives. The relationship is not symmetric — how remark rates them is a separate judgement, made when remark is analysed in its own right.
