This new version is not quite compatible with the web2py but it is easier to extend. Also it allows embedding arbitrary html and it gets sanitized so one does not have to choose between markmin syntax or html.
I do not like markdown because run_me and call_me gets rendered as run<me>me and call</em>me which is very wrong. Also 4*2=2*4 renders as 4<strong>2=2</strong>4 which is even worse. Moreover it does not know how to handle LaTeX formulas.
