markdown2 VS mistletoe

I remember I had some problems with converting as well but as per https://github.com/trentm/python-markdown2 there is a quick usage section, and this example worked for me. Please try it like this

From their GitHub repo documentation:

First, I used django-microframework as inspiration for a simple app.py that could be used instead of the potentially overwhelming files Django normally uses for a site. Then, I added in automatic reading of .env files to override Django settings that shouldn't be committed. I used markdown2 to automatically render markdown files into HTML. And built a way to load data from JSON into templates to be used as variables (since a database is not available when generating a static site).

Here, the markdown2 python package is used to convert the markdown wiki entries which are then rendered as entry.html.

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.
