Dear Pierre-Elliott Bécue,



Here is our attempt so far:

https://github.com/common-workflow-language/schema_salad/pull/496/files?short_path=5c6a130#diff-5c6a1301c6b59b30a040d747d065e861d3dd98bde0e5a4356d92d594e9835986

Thank you for trying to find a way forward in this mess. I am also the upstream maintainer for schema-salad. We have yet to find a way to support mistune 2.x And an issue I opened with mistune directly about a regression in multi-line list handling that goes against multiple markdown specs: https://github.com/lepture/mistune/issues/296

We have not decided if we will switch to another library, wait for a fixed mistune 2.x release, or keep with the older version. Since Mistune 2.0.0 regresses its support for standard markdown, I ask that a separate package be made for mistune 2.x to give more time for mistune 0.8.x users to migrate to mistune 2.x or another library entirely.
