This avoids misinterpreting initials ("C. S. Lewis was an author"),
the abbreviation for Monsieur ("M. Descartes was a philosopher") and
German page numbering ("S. 42") as ordered lists if they happen to
begin a line.
This only affects the default Discount implementation: Text::Markdown
and Text::MultiMarkdown do not have this feature anyway. A new
mdwn_alpha_list option can be used to restore the old interpretation.
mdwn: Can use the discount markdown library, via the
Text::Markdown::Discount perl module.
This is preferred if available since it's the fastest currently supported
markdown library, speeding up markdown rendering by a factor of 40.
That is to say, when only rendering a lot of markdown, discount is 40x
faster. When building a ikiwiki site, ikiwiki's other overhead gets in the
way, but I still see significant speedups. Building the ikiwiki docwiki
dropped from 62 to 45 seconds, for example.
However, when multimarkdown is enabled, Text::Markdown::Multimarkdown is
still used.
While discount contains some nonstandard markdown extensions,
including tables and footnotes, AFAICS most of them are not
enabled by default in the perl bindings.
I consider sticking to non-extended markdown a desirable thing, since this
is probably not the last markdown engine. In particular, sundown is waiting
in the wings to get packaged and get a perl binding.

Reviewing all the showdown extensions, here are the ones that are enabled:
centered paragraphs:
->centered<-
image sizes: [dust mite](http://dust.mite =150x150)
<style>..</style> blocks are eaten. The perl binding does not provide
access to the gathered CSS. This is not legal html anyway, so unlikely
to cause breakage.
text blocks, for easy nesting of quotes inside.
* Add a template plugin.
* Use the template plugin to add infoboxes to each plugin page listing basic
info about the plugin.
