mistletoe I originally came across when I was looking for a markup language processor that provided API access for manipulating the DOM tree. markdown-it-py's documentation was a bit hard for me to follow. Meanwhile, there's plenty of source code examples for extra syntax and converters that are easy to read in mistletoe.
