Showdown's version 2.0 is coming together although not as fast as I wanted, maybe due to the extensive refactor done to the parser. But while the community is patiently waiting, I felt that some important bugfixes could (and should) be backported to v 1.x.
What's new in 1.8.7?
Some long awaited bugfixes were backported, namely:
-
emojis: fix emoji excessive size
-
gfm-codeblocks:
-
add support for spaces before language declaration
-
leading space no longer breaks gfm codeblocks
-
-
images: fix js error when using image references
-
literalMidWordAsterisks: now parses single characters enclosed by * correctly
-
mentions: allow for usernames with dot, underscore and dash
-
nbsp: fix replacing of nbsp with regular spaces
You can download/use the new version from github, npm and CDNJS.
