I've published Phoedown, an FFI to hoedown, the standards compliant, fast, secure Markdown processing library written in C. This blog is powered by Phoedown.

A simple example:

| md |
md := (FileSystem memory / 'somefile.md')
	writeStreamDo: [ :ws |
		ws nextPutAll: 
'
 ```smalltalk
Transcript show: ''Happy New Year!''; cr

' ]; contents. HdHtmlRenderer new setMarkdownExtension: HdMarkdownExtensions FencedCode; setMarkdownExtension: HdMarkdownExtensions NoIntraEmphasis; render: md

This is the output:

```html
<pre><code class="language-smalltalk">Transcript show: &#39;Happy New Year!&#39;; cr
</code></pre>

The output in HTML:

Transcript show: 'Happy New Year!'; cr
