This plugin utilizes the <a href="http://parsedown.org" rel="nofollow ugc">Parsedown</a> PHP library by <a href="http://erusev.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Emanuil Rusev</a>, which is mostly compliant with the <a href="http://spec.commonmark.org/0.27/" rel="nofollow ugc">CommonMark</a> spec. It also extends up the Parsedown library, by allowing:
<ul>
<li>checkboxes; ‘[ ]’, ‘[]’, and ‘[x]’ are translated into unchecked/checked checkbox inputs</li>
</ul>
