Description: Render R Markdown to Markdown (without using 'knitr'), and
        Markdown to lightweight HTML or 'LaTeX' documents via the
        bundled 'cmark-gfm' library (instead of 'Pandoc'). Some missing
        Markdown features in 'cmark-gfm' are also supported, such as
        raw HTML or 'LaTeX' blocks, 'LaTeX' math, superscripts,
        subscripts, footnotes, element attributes, and appendices, but
        not all 'Pandoc' Markdown features are (or will be) supported.
        With additional JavaScript and CSS, you can also create HTML
        slides and articles. This package can be viewed as a
        trimmed-down version of R Markdown and 'knitr'. It does not aim
        at rich Markdown features or a large variety of output formats
        (the primary formats are HTML and 'LaTeX'). Book and website
        projects of multiple input documents are also supported.
