# Markdown
*A lightweight and extensible Markdown library for transforming and building Markdown with a deterministic and specification-oriented approach.*
- **AST-Based Serialization**\
Converts Markdown into valid Markdown.

- **Semantic-Preserving Transformations**
Allows structural modifications without altering the intended meaning.
- **Extensibility**\
Supports common Markdown extensions (e.g., tables, task lists).
## Supported Flavors
We support all available elements in flavors:
- GitHub
- markdown-it
- Vitepress
