Flavoured Markdown

Markdown is good, but it has 2 features that’s hard to explain to inexperienced user:

• it doesn’t convert urls to links automatically
• it doesn’t convert line breaks to html <br> tags

It seems, for 80% cases this would better be done. Python Markdown supports extensions and thus can be “flavoured”.

So, there are extensaions:

• autobr for converting line breaks and
• autolink for converting urls
