It is almost completely compliant with the reference implementation, though there are a few known issues. See Features for information on what exactly is supported and what is not. The Python Markdown package is now maintained by Waylan Limberg. The new project website is here: Python Markdown at PyPy.

Latest versionReleased:
The fastest markdown parser in pure Python
Project description
The fastest markdown parser in pure Python with renderer features,inspired by marked.
Features
- Pure Python. Tested in Python 2.7, Python 3.5+ and PyPy.
- Very Fast. It is the fastest in all pure Python markdown parsers.
- More Features. Table, footnotes, autolink, fenced code etc.
View the benchmark results.
Installation
Installing mistune with pip:
Mistune can be faster, if you compile with cython:
Basic Usage
A simple API that render a markdown formatted text:
If you care about performance, it is better to re-use the Markdown instance:
Mistune has enabled all features by default. You don’t have to configureanything. But there are options for you to change the parser behaviors.
Options
Here is a list of all options that will affect the rendering results,configure them with mistune.Renderer:
- escape: if set to False, all raw html tags will not be escaped.
- hard_wrap: if set to True, it will has GFM line breaks feature.All new lines will be replaced with <br> tag
- use_xhtml: if set to True, all tags will be in xhtml, for example: <hr />.
- parse_block_html: parse text only in block level html.
- parse_inline_html: parse text only in inline level html.
When using the default renderer, you can use one of the following shortcuts:
Renderer
Like misaka/sundown, you can influence the rendering by custom renderers.All you need to do is subclassing a Renderer class.
Here is an example of code highlighting:
Find more renderers in mistune-contrib.
Block Level
Here is a list of block level renderer API:
The flags tells you whether it is header with flags['header']. And italso tells you the align with flags['align'].
Span Level
Here is a list of span level renderer API:
Footnotes
Here is a list of renderers related to footnotes:
Lexers
Sometimes you want to add your own rules to Markdown, such as GitHub Wikilinks. You can’t achieve this goal with renderers. You will need to dealwith the lexers, it would be a little difficult for the first time.
We will take an example for GitHub Wiki links: [[Page 2|Page 2]].It is an inline grammar, which requires custom InlineGrammar andInlineLexer:
You should pass the inline lexer to Markdown parser:
It is the same with block level lexer. It would take a while to understandthe whole mechanism. But you won’t do the trick a lot.
Contribution & Extensions
Mistune itself doesn’t accept any extension. It will always be a simple onefile script.
If you want to add features, you can head over to mistune-contrib.
Here are some extensions already in mistune-contrib:
- Math/MathJax features
- Highlight Code Renderer
- TOC table of content features
- MultiMarkdown Metadata parser

There are many markdown parsers in Python. Misaka was my favorite one. However, misaka is deprecated now, and the successor which is called hoedown still has issues to solve. That's why it is a was. But I still love it.
Here is a list of markdown parsers for Python in my knowledge:
- Misaka: A python binding for Sundown. (CPython required)
- Hoedown: A python binding for Hoedown, successor of Misaka.
- Discount: A python binding for Discount. (CPython required)
- cMarkdown: Markdown for Python, accelerated by C. (CPython required)
- Markdown: A pure markdown parser, the very first implementation.
- Markdown2: Another pure markdown parser.
And I've just released another pure markdown parser too, which is called mistune.
Misaka
Misaka was my favorite markdown parser. It is a python binding of Sundown, which means that it has all the features that Sundown provides.
It is super fast! Actually, it is the top one in my benchmarks. Since it is a binding of a C library, no wonder that it is this fast. If speed is what you want, you should try misaka, and as well as other bindings of a C library.
But misaka is more than speed. It is the custom renderer feature that catches my heart. I am so fond of it, that's why I implement the custom renderer feature in my own markdown parser mistune.
A quick and very useful sample is code highlighting.
However, it is a binding of a C libary. It requires CPython, if you prefer PyPy, you have no access to it. Some App Engines have a limitation on compiling C libraries too, you can't use misaka in this case. And even if you are using CPython, it is still difficult to install it on a Windows OS.
Visual Studio's support for C is not optimal and most VS compilers are missing stdint.h, which is needed to compile Misaka.
If you are on a Windows, may god helps you. I don't care it a shit.
Footnote feature is missing in Misaka. Maybe many of you don't need such a thing, in this case, misaka has nothing bad. It is stable, efficient, and has many GFM features.
The only trouble is Sundown is deprecated.1
Hoedown
Because the Sundown library is deprecated, here comes hoedown2, which is the fork of the original Sundown. It has a Python binding also called as hoedown.
Since Hoedown is the successor of Sundown, and python-hoedown is the successor of Misaka, all features that misaka has, python-hoedown has them too. But python-hoedown is more than that.
- It is PyPy compatible.
- It has footnote feature.
It looks promissing, and even misaka's author recommends it. I've tried it, but failed with one issue, a magic error that I can't do anything:
This isssue is not fixed yet. Once it does, hoedown would be a good choice for non-AE users.
Updated at Jun 23, 2014: you can use Hoep as the Python Binding.
cMarkdown & Discount
cMarkdown is much like Misaka, except that it is based on upskirt3 rather than sundown. The history is very interesting, sundown is a fork of upskirt, hoedown is a fork of sundown. And now, sundown is deprecated, upskirt is missing. The new markdown parser that vmg promised is still not available.
cMarkdown has all the disadvantages of Misaka, and it is a little slower than Misaka. This means you really should use misaka instead of cMarkdown.
Discount is a joke for me, I can't even install it successfully! There is not much to say. But I do know that Discount is slower than Sundown.
Markdown & Markdown2
Markdown Python Code
Python-Markdown is the very first markdown parser in pure Python. It is good, except the documentation. However, I miss the renderer feature in misaka, which is not in Python-Markdown.
Python-Markdown is not that slow as I expected, since Python-Markdown2 calls itself as:
A fast and complete implementation of Markdown in Python.
But it is not true. Python-Markdown2 is much slower than Python-Markdown. I have no idea why it says itself fast. All features that 2 has, the older one has too.
The benchmark shows that Python-Markdown2 is almost twice slower than Python-Markdown. No wonder it is 2.
Mistune
Mistune is a new (just released) markdown parser. It is the fastest one in all pure Python implementations. Almost 4 times faster4 than Python-Markdown in pure Python environment, almost 5 times faster with Cython's help.
I didn't expect it to be so fast when I wrote it. I know it would be a fast one, but I didn't know that it would be 4 times faster and even 5 times faster.
I have never thought of creating a Markdown parser my own. But it has been months since I reported the issue to Hoedown. The issue is still there, not solved a bit. Because it is a C binding, I am not able to do any help, the only thing I can do is waiting.
I don't use Python-Markdown or Python-Markdown2, because they have no renderer feature, and they are slow.
I have introduced renderer feature to marked, which is finally merged. And now I am trying to add the footnote feature. It occured to me that I can port marked to Python, since I know marked well, and I know it is the fastest in all pure JavaScript implementations. It would be fast in Python too, and it really does.
If you are looking for a fast, full featured5 and pure Python implementation, Mistune is a good choice. It also has renderer feature just like Misaka. You can always influnce the rendering results with custom renderers.
Additional Notes
I did a benchmark on my MacBook Air, view the results. You can run the benchmark script yourself: bench.py
Mistune can be compiled with Cython if you have Cython installed already.
The magic happens in the setup.py script. I'd like to introduce this part another time.
Python Print Markdown Command
mistune is used by many great projects such as IPython, Rodeo and crossbar.
