MD4C is C Markdown parser with the following features:

* Compliance: Generally MD4C aims to be compliant to the latest version of
CommonMark specification. Right now fully compliant to CommonMark 0.28.

* Extensions: MD4C supports some commonly requested and accepted extensions.

* Compactness: MD4C is implemented in one source file and one header file.

* Embedding: MD4C is easy to reuse in other projects, its API is very
straightforward: There is actually just one function, md_parse().

* Push model: MD4C parses the complete document and calls callback functions
provided by the application for each start/end of block, start/end of a span,
and with any textual contents.

* Portability: MD4C builds and works on Windows and Linux, and it should
be fairly simple to make it run also on most other systems.

* Encoding: MD4C can be compiled to recognize ASCII-only control characters,
UTF-8 and, on Windows, also UTF-16, i.e. what is on Windows commonly
called just "Unicode". See more details below.

* Permissive license: MD4C is available under the MIT license.

* Performance: MD4C is very fast.
