MultiMarkdown V7 alpha released

At the age of 18(!), MultiMarkdown Composer almost reaches version 7

At the tender age of 18, having been around since 2007, MultiMarkdown Composer has ‘almost’ reached the heady heights of version 7.

From the Fletcher Penney blog:

MultiMarkdown v7 is available on Github. It is still in ‘alpha’, meaning that I am still actively testing it and developing it, and it is not feature complete yet. There is more information in the project README, but briefly:

  • The goal was cleaner code with better performance and cleaned up edge cases
  • HTML and LaTeX output is done, but still being tested in real use cases (as well as fuzz testing)
  • Other output formats will be implemented after HTML and LaTeX are “finalized”
  • The command line interface is revised
  • The API is revised

The main incomplete step at this point is a cleaner API for retrieving the AST rather than HTML/LaTeX output. Currently it will cause memory leaks if called from another program like this. I need to decide how I want to restructure this in a simple way while maintaining performance.
