I am looking for JavaScript MarkDown (MD) mechanism for both the browser and the server through node.js. In most cases, the intended output will be HTML5 (although I can use MD for XML, PDF, and various ePub formats, it is unclear whether it would be better to use the direct MD format in xxx or HTML in xxx format). Converting a large MD file quickly would be best, but I also plan to use it on lower level mobile phones, so memory usage should also be considered.
I assume that there is experience with JavaScript-MD that I cannot find, tests that people have run, etc. So far, here is the information I collected:
https://github.com/chjj/marked "Built for speed"
https://github.com/guybrush/showdown Old and no longer supported
Other studies, the oldest: What is the best WYSIWYM jQuery text editor?
Markdown to convert two asterisks to bold text in javascript
Javascript to convert Markdown / Textile to HTML (and, ideally, back to Markdown / Textile)
Is there a good Javascript Markdown library or control?
How could you make out Markdown?
