Plerd now processes Markdown with Markdown::Perl, running in its GitHub-Flavored Markdown (GFM) mode, in place of
Text::MultiMarkdown. Fenced code blocks work at last -- both backtick and tilde fences, with a fence's language becoming alanguage-fooclass on its<code>element -- as do GFM tables, strikethrough, and task lists, atop the whole of the CommonMark spec. Syntax peculiar to MultiMarkdown is no longer recognized. -
Plerd requires Perl 5.26 or later, a requirement inherited from Markdown::Perl. Version 1.903 is the last release to support earlier versions of Perl. It remains available from CPAN by way of
cpanm Plerd@1.903, and the 1.x line continues to live on this project'smaint/1.xbranch.
