Switch docs to MKDocs (#602)

Fixes #601. Merged in 6f87b32 from the md3 branch and did a lot of cleanup. Changes include: * Removed old docs build tool, templates, etc. * Added MkDocs config file, etc. * filename.txt => filename.md * pythonhost.org/Markdown => Python-Markdown.github.io * Markdown lint and other cleanup. * Automate pages deployment in makefile with `mkdocs gh-deploy` Assumes a git remote is set up named "pages". Do git remote add pages https://github.com/Python-Markdown/Python-Markdown.github.io.git ... before running `make deploy` the first time.

+title: Authors
+
+Primary Authors
+===============
+
+* __[Waylan Limberg](http://achinghead.com/)__
+
+    Waylan is the current maintainer of the code and has written much of the
+    current code base, included a complete refactor of the core. He started out
+    by authoring many of the available extensions and later was asked to join
+    Yuri, where he began fixing numerous bugs, adding documentation and making
+    general improvements to the existing code base.
+
+* __[Yuri Takteyev](http://freewisdom.org/)__
+
+    Yuri wrote most of the code found in version 1.x while procrastinating his
+    Ph.D. Various pieces of his code still exist, most notably the basic
+    structure.
+
+* __[Manfed Stienstra](http://www.dwerg.net/)__
+
+    Manfed wrote the original version of the script and is responsible for
+    various parts of the existing code base.
+
+* __Artem Yunusov__
+
+    Artem, who as part of a 2008 GSoC project, refactored inline patterns,
+    replaced the NanoDOM with ElementTree support and made various other
+    improvements.
+
+* __David Wolever__
+
+    David refactored the extension API and made other improvements
+    as he helped to integrate Markdown into Dr.Project.

-
-* For many years Python-Markdown has identified `<ins>` and `<del>` tags in 
-raw HTML input as block level tags. As they are actually inline level tags,
-this behavior has been changed. This may result in slightly different output.
-While in most cases, the new output is more correct, there may be a few edge
-cases where a document author has relied on the previous incorrect behavior.
-It is likely that a few adjustments may need to be made to those documents.
-
-* The behavior of the `enable_attributes` keyword has been slightly altered.
-If authors have been using attributes in documents with `safe_mode` on, those 
-attributes will no longer be parsed unless `enable_attributes` is explicitly
-set to `True`. This change was made to prevent untrusted authors from injecting
-potentially harmful JavaScript in documents. This change had no effect when 
-not in `safe_mode`.

-The docs were refactored and can now be found at

-
-The [Sane_Lists](http://packages.python.org/Markdown/extensions/sane_lists.html)
-extension was added. The Sane Lists Extension alters the behavior of the 
-Markdown List syntax to be less surprising by not allowing the mixing of list
-types. In other words, an ordered list will not continue when an unordered list
-item is encountered and vice versa.
-
-Markdown now excepts a full path to an extension module. In other words, your
-extensions no longer need to be in the primary namespace (and start with `mdx_`)
-for Markdown to find them. Just do `Markdown(extension=['path.to.some.module'])`.
-As long as the provided module contains a compatible extension, the extension

+
+Python-Markdown 2.3 Release Notes
+=================================
+
+We are pleased to release Python-Markdown 2.3 which adds one new extension,
+removes a few old (obsolete) extensions, and now runs on both Python 2 and
+Python 3 without running the 2to3 conversion tool. See the list of changes
+below for details.
+
+Python-Markdown supports Python versions 2.6, 2.7, 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3.
+
+Backwards-incompatible Changes
+------------------------------
+
+* Support has been dropped for Python 2.5. No guarantees are made that the
+  library will work in any version of Python lower than 2.6. As all supported
+  Python versions include the ElementTree library, Python-Markdown will no
+  longer try to import a third-party installation of ElementTree.
+
+* All classes are now "new-style" classes. In other words, all classes subclass
+  from 'object'. While this is not likely to affect most users, extension
+  authors may need to make a few minor adjustments to their code.
+
+* "safe_mode" has been further restricted. Markdown formatted links must be of a
+  known white-listed scheme when in "safe_mode" or the URL is discarded. The
+  white-listed schemes are: 'HTTP', 'HTTPS', 'FTP', 'FTPS', 'MAILTO', and
+  'news'. Schemeless URLs are also permitted, but are checked in other ways - as
+  they have been for some time.
+
+* The ids assigned to footnotes now contain a dash (`-`) rather than a colon
+  (`:`) when `output_format` it set to `"html5"` or `"xhtml5"`. If you are
+  making reference to those ids in your JavaScript or CSS and using the HTML5
+  output, you will need to update your code accordingly. No changes are
+  necessary if you are outputting XHTML (the default) or HTML4.
+
+* The `force_linenos` configuration setting of the CodeHilite extension has been
+  marked as **Pending Deprecation** and a new setting `linenums` has been added
+  to replace it. See documentation for the [CodeHilite Extension] for an
+  explanation of the new `linenums` setting. The new setting will honor the old
+  `force_linenos` if it is set, but it will raise a `PendingDeprecationWarning`
+  and will likely be removed in a future version of Python-Markdown.
+
+[CodeHilite Extension]: ../extensions/code_hilite.md
+
+* The "RSS" extension has been removed and no longer ships with Python-Markdown.
+  If you would like to continue using the extension (not recommended), it is
+  archived on [GitHub](https://gist.github.com/waylan/4773365).
+
+* The "HTML Tidy" Extension has been removed and no longer ships with
+  Python-Markdown. If you would like to continue using the extension (not
+  recommended), it is archived on
+  [GitHub](https://gist.github.com/waylan/5152650). Note that the underlying
+  library, uTidylib, is not Python 3 compatible. Instead, it is recommended that
+  the newer [PyTidyLib] (version 0.2.2+ for Python 3 comparability - install
+  from GitHub not PyPI) be used. As the API for that library is rather simple,
+  it is recommended that the output of Markdown be wrapped in a call to
+  PyTidyLib rather than using an extension (for example:
+  `tidylib.tidy_fragment(markdown.markdown(source), options={...})`).
+
+[PyTidyLib]: http://countergram.com/open-source/pytidylib
+
+What's New in Python-Markdown 2.3
+---------------------------------
+
+* The entire code base now universally runs in Python 2 and Python 3 without any
+  need for running the 2to3 conversion tool. This not only simplifies testing,
+  but by using Unicode_literals, results in more consistent behavior across
+  Python versions. Additionally, the relative imports (made possible in Python 2
+  via absolute_import) allows the entire library to more easily be embedded in a
+  sub-directory of another project. The various files within the library will
+  still import each other properly even though 'markdown' may not be in Python's
+  root namespace.
+
+* The [Admonition Extension] has been added, which implements [rST-style][rST]
+  admonitions in the Markdown syntax. However, be warned that this extension is
+  experimental and the syntax and behavior is still subject to change. Please
+  try it out and report bugs and/or improvements.
+
+[Admonition Extension]: ../extensions/admonition.md

+Python-Markdown supports Python versions 2.6, 2.7, 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3.
+
+Backwards-incompatible Changes
+------------------------------
+
+* The `force_linenos` configuration setting of the CodeHilite extension has been
+  marked as **Deprecated**. It had previously been marked as "Pending
+  Deprecation" in version 2.3 when a new setting `linenums` was added to replace
+  it. See documentation for the [CodeHilite Extension] for an explanation of the
+  new `linenums` setting. The new setting will honor the old `force_linenos` if
+  it is set, but `force_linenos` will raise a `DeprecationWarning` and will
+  likely be removed in a future version of Python-Markdown.
+
+[CodeHilite Extension]: ../extensions/code_hilite.md
+
+* URLs are no longer percent-encoded. This improves compatibility with the
+  original (written in Perl) Markdown implementation. Please percent-encode your
+  URLs manually when needed.
+
+What's New in Python-Markdown 2.4
+---------------------------------
+
+* Thanks to the hard work of [Dmitry Shachnev] the [Smarty Extension] has been
+  added, which implements [SmartyPants] using Python-Markdown's Extension API.
+  This offers a few benefits over a third party script. The HTML does not need
+  to be "tokenized" twice, no hacks are required to combine SmartyPants and code
+  highlighting, and we get markdown's escaping feature for free. Please try it
+  out and report bugs and/or improvements.

+[Dmitry Shachnev]: https://github.com/mitya57
+[Smarty Extension]: ../extensions/smarty.md
+[SmartyPants]: http://daringfireball.net/projects/smartypants/
+
+* The [Table of Contents Extension] now supports new `permalink` option for
+  creating [Sphinx]-style anchor links.
+
+[Table of Contents Extension]: ../extensions/toc.md
+[Sphinx]: http://sphinx-doc.org/
+
+* It is now possible to enable Markdown formatting inside HTML blocks by
+  appending `markdown=1` to opening tag attributes. See [Markdown Inside HTML
+  Blocks] section for details. Thanks to [ryneeverett] for implementing this
+  feature.
+
+[Markdown Inside HTML Blocks]: ../extensions/extra.md#nested-markdown-inside-html-blocks
+[ryneeverett]: https://github.com/ryneeverett
+
+* The code blocks now support emphasizing some of the code lines. To use this
+  feature, specify `hl_lines` option after language name, for example (using the
+  [Fenced Code Extension]):
+
+        ```.python hl_lines="1 3"
+        # This line will be emphasized.
+        # This one won't.
+        # This one will be also emphasized.
+        ```

+
+Python-Markdown 2.5 Release Notes
+=================================
+
+We are pleased to release Python-Markdown 2.5 which adds a few new features
+and fixes various bugs. See the list of changes below for details.
+
+Python-Markdown version 2.5 supports Python versions 2.7, 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4.
+
+Backwards-incompatible Changes
+------------------------------
+
+* Python-Markdown no longer supports Python version 2.6. You must be using Python
+  versions 2.7, 3.2, 3.3, or 3.4.
+
+[importlib]: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/importlib
+
+* The `force_linenos` configuration key on the [CodeHilite Extension] has been **deprecated**
+  and will raise a `KeyError` if provided. In the previous release (2.4), it was
+  issuing a `DeprecationWarning`. The [`linenums`][linenums] keyword should be used
+  instead, which provides more control of the output.
+
+[CodeHilite Extension]: ../extensions/code_hilite.md
+[linenums]: ../extensions/code_hilite.md#usage
+
+* Both `safe_mode` and the associated `html_replacement_text` keywords will be
+  deprecated in version 2.6 and will raise a **`PendingDeprecationWarning`** in
+  2.5. The so-called "safe mode" was never actually "safe" which has resulted in
+  many people having a false sense of security when using it. As an alternative,
+  the developers of Python-Markdown recommend that any untrusted content be
+  passed through an HTML sanitizer (like [Bleach]) after being converted to HTML
+  by markdown.
+
+    If your code previously looked like this:
+
+        html = markdown.markdown(text, same_mode=True)
+
+    Then it is recommended that you change your code to read something like this:
+
+        import bleach
+        html = bleach.clean(markdown.markdown(text))
+
+    If you are not interested in sanitizing untrusted text, but simply desire to
+    escape raw HTML, then that can be accomplished through an extension which
+    removes HTML parsing:
+
+        from markdown.extensions import Extension
+
+        class EscapeHtml(Extension):
+            def extendMarkdown(self, md, md_globals):
+                del md.preprocessors['html_block']
+                del md.inlinePatterns['html']
+
+        html = markdown.markdown(text, extensions=[EscapeHtml()])
+
+    As the HTML would not be parsed with the above Extension, then the
+    serializer will escape the raw HTML, which is exactly what happens now when
+    `safe_mode="escape"`.
+
+[Bleach]: https://bleach.readthedocs.io/
+
+* Positional arguments on the `markdown.Markdown()` are pending deprecation as are
+  all except the `text` argument on the `markdown.markdown()` wrapper function.
+  Only keyword arguments should be used. For example, if your code previously
+  looked like this:
+
+         html = markdown.markdown(text, ['extra'])
+
+    Then it is recommended that you change it to read something like this:
+
+        html = markdown.markdown(text, extensions=['extra'])
+
+    !!! Note
+        This change is being made as a result of deprecating `"safe_mode"` as the
+        `safe_mode` argument was one of the positional arguments. When that argument
+        is removed, the two arguments following it will no longer be at the correct
+        position. It is recommended that you always use keywords when they are supported
+        for this reason.
+
+* In previous versions of Python-Markdown, the built-in extensions received
+  special status and did not require the full path to be provided. Additionally,
+  third party extensions whose name started with `"mdx_"` received the same
+  special treatment. This behavior will be deprecated in version 2.6 and will
+  raise a **`PendingDeprecationWarning`** in 2.5. Ensure that you always use the
+  full path to your extensions. For example, if you previously did the
+  following:
+
+        markdown.markdown(text, extensions=['extra'])
+
+    You should change your code to the following:
+
+        markdown.markdown(text, extensions=['markdown.extensions.extra'])
+
+    The same applies to the command line:
+
+        $ python -m markdown -x markdown.extensions.extra input.txt
+
+    See the [documentation](../reference.md#extensions) for a full explanation
+    of the current behavior.
+
+* The previously documented method of appending the extension configuration as
+  a string to the extension name will be deprecated in Python-Markdown
+  version 2.6 and will raise a **`PendingDeprecationWarning`** in 2.5. The
+  [`extension_configs`](../reference.md#extension_configs) keyword should
+  be used instead. See the [documentation](../reference.md#extension-configs)
+  for a full explanation of the current behavior.
+
+What's New in Python-Markdown 2.5
+---------------------------------
+
+* The [Smarty Extension] has had a number of additional configuration settings
+  added, which allows one to define their own substitutions to better support
+  languages other than English. Thanks to [Martin Altmayer] for implementing this
+  feature.
+
+[Smarty Extension]: ../extensions/smarty.md
+[Martin Altmayer]:https://github.com/MartinAltmayer
+
+* Named Extensions (strings passed to the [`extensions`][ex] keyword of
+  `markdown.Markdown`) can now point to any module and/or Class on your
+  PYTHONPATH. While dot notation was previously supported, a module could not
+  be at the root of your PYTHONPATH. The name had to contain at least one dot
+  (requiring it to be a sub-module). This restriction no longer exists.
+
+    Additionally, a Class may be specified in the name. The class must be at the
+    end of the name (which uses dot notation from PYTHONPATH) and be separated
+    by a colon from the module.
+
+    Therefore, if you were to import the class like this:
+
+        from path.to.module import SomeExtensionClass
+
+    Then the named extension would comprise this string:
+
+        "path.to.module:SomeExtensionClass"
+
+    This allows multiple extensions to be implemented within the same module and
+    still accessible when the user is not able to import the extension directly
+    (perhaps from a template filter or the command line).
+
+    This also means that extension modules are no longer required to include the
+    `makeExtension` function which returns an instance of the extension class.
+    However, if the user does not specify the class name (she only provides
+    `"path.to.module"`) the extension will fail to load without the
+    `makeExtension` function included in the module. Extension authors will want
+    to document carefully what is required to load their extensions.
+
+[ex]: ../reference.md#extensions
+
+* The Extension Configuration code has been refactored to make it a little
+  easier for extension authors to work with configuration settings. As a
+  result, the [`extension_configs`][ec] keyword now accepts a dictionary
+  rather than requiring a list of tuples. A list of tuples is still supported
+  so no one needs to change their existing code. This should also simplify the
+  learning curve for new users.
+
+    Extension authors are encouraged to review the new methods available on the
+    `markdown.extnesions.Extension` class for handling configuration and adjust
+    their code going forward. The included extensions provide a model for best
+    practices. See the [API] documentation for a full explanation.
+
+[ec]: ../reference.md#extension_configs
+[API]: ../extensions/api.md#configsettings
+
+* The [Command Line Interface][cli] now accepts a `--extensions_config` (or
+  `-c`) option which accepts a file name and passes the parsed content of a
+  [YAML] or [JSON] file to the [`extension_configs`][ec] keyword of the
+  `markdown.Markdown` class. The contents of the YAML or JSON must map to a
+  Python Dictionary which matches the format required by the
+  `extension_configs` keyword. Note that [PyYAML] is required to parse YAML
+  files.
+
+[cli]: ../cli.md#using-extensions
+[YAML]: http://yaml.org/
+[JSON]: http://json.org/
+[PyYAML]: http://pyyaml.org/
+
+* The [Admonition Extension][ae] is no longer considered "experimental."
+
+[ae]: ../extensions/admonition.md
+
+* There have been various refactors of the testing framework. While those
+  changes will not directly effect end users, the code is being better tested
+  which will benefit everyone.
+
+* Various bug fixes have been made. See the [commit
+  log](https://github.com/Python-Markdown/markdown/commits/master) for a
+  complete history of the changes.

+
+# Python-Markdown 2.6 Release Notes
+
+We are pleased to release Python-Markdown 2.6 which adds a few new features
+and fixes various bugs. See the list of changes below for details.
+
+Python-Markdown version 2.6 supports Python versions 2.7, 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4 as
+well as PyPy.
+
+## Backwards-incompatible Changes
+
+### `safe_mode` Deprecated
+
+Both `safe_mode` and the associated `html_replacement_text` keywords are
+deprecated in version 2.6 and will raise a **`DeprecationWarning`**. The
+`safe_mode` and `html_replacement_text` keywords will be ignored in the next
+release. The so-called "safe mode" was never actually "safe" which has resulted
+in many people having a false sense of security when using it. As an
+alternative, the developers of Python-Markdown recommend that any untrusted
+content be passed through an HTML sanitizer (like [Bleach]) after being
+converted to HTML by markdown. In fact, [Bleach Whitelist] provides a curated
+list of tags, attributes, and styles suitable for filtering user-provided HTML
+using bleach.
+
+If your code previously looked like this:
+
+```python
+html = markdown.markdown(text, safe_mode=True)
+```
+
+Then it is recommended that you change your code to read something like this:
+
+```python
+import bleach
+from bleach_whitelist import markdown_tags, markdown_attrs
+html = bleach.clean(markdown.markdown(text), markdown_tags, markdown_attrs)
+```
+
+If you are not interested in sanitizing untrusted text, but simply desire to
+escape raw HTML, then that can be accomplished through an extension which
+removes HTML parsing:
+
+```python
+from markdown.extensions import Extension
+
+class EscapeHtml(Extension):
+    def extendMarkdown(self, md, md_globals):
+    del md.preprocessors['html_block']
+    del md.inlinePatterns['html']
+
+html = markdown.markdown(text, extensions=[EscapeHtml()])
+```
+
+As the HTML would not be parsed with the above Extension, then the serializer
+will escape the raw HTML, which is exactly what happens now when
+`safe_mode="escape"`.
+
+[Bleach]: https://bleach.readthedocs.io/
+[Bleach Whitelist]: https://github.com/yourcelf/bleach-whitelist
+
+### Positional Arguments Deprecated
+
+Positional arguments on the `markdown.Markdown()` class are deprecated as are
+all except the `text` argument on the `markdown.markdown()` wrapper function.
+Using positional arguments will raise a **`DeprecationWarning`** in 2.6 and an
+error in the next release. Only keyword arguments should be used. For example,
+if your code previously looked like this:
+
+```python
+html = markdown.markdown(text, [SomeExtension()])
+```
+
+Then it is recommended that you change it to read something like this:
+
+```python
+html = markdown.markdown(text, extensions=[SomeExtension()])
+```
+
+!!! Note
+    This change is being made as a result of deprecating `"safe_mode"` as the
+    `safe_mode` argument was one of the positional arguments. When that argument
+    is removed, the two arguments following it will no longer be at the correct
+    position. It is recommended that you always use keywords when they are
+    supported for this reason.
+
+### "Shortened" Extension Names Deprecated
+
+In previous versions of Python-Markdown, the built-in extensions received
+special status and did not require the full path to be provided. Additionally,
+third party extensions whose name started with `"mdx_"` received the same
+special treatment. This behavior is deprecated and will raise a
+**`DeprecationWarning`** in version 2.6 and an error in the next release. Ensure
+that you always use the full path to your extensions. For example, if you
+previously did the following:
+
+```python
+markdown.markdown(text, extensions=['extra'])
+```
+
+You should change your code to the following:
+
+```python
+markdown.markdown(text, extensions=['markdown.extensions.extra'])
+```
+
+The same applies to the command line:
+
+```python
+python -m markdown -x markdown.extensions.extra input.txt
+```
+
+Similarly, if you have used a third party extension (for example `mdx_math`),
+previously you might have called it like this:
+
+```python
+markdown.markdown(text, extensions=['math'])
+```
+
+As the `"mdx"` prefix will no longer be appended, you will need to change your
+code as follows (assuming the file `mdx_math.py` is installed at the root of
+your PYTHONPATH):
+
+```python
+markdown.markdown(text, extensions=['mdx_math'])
+```
+
+Extension authors will want to update their documentation to reflect the new
+behavior.
+
+See the [documentation](../reference.md#extensions) for a full explanation
+of the current behavior.
+
+### Extension Configuration as Part of Extension Name Deprecated
+
+The previously documented method of appending the extension configuration
+options as a string to the extension name is deprecated and will raise a
+**`DeprecationWarning`** in version 2.6 and an error in 2.7. The
+[`extension_configs`](../reference.md#extension_configs) keyword should be used
+instead. See the [documentation](../reference.md#extension-configs) for a full
+explanation of the current behavior.
+
+### HeaderId Extension Pending Deprecation
+
+The [HeaderId][hid] Extension is pending deprecation and will raise a
+**`PendingDeprecationWarning`** in version 2.6. The extension will be deprecated
+in the next release and raise an error in the release after that. Use the [Table
+of Contents][TOC] Extension instead, which offers most of the features of the
+HeaderId Extension and more (support for meta data is missing).
+
+Extension authors who have been using the `slugify` and `unique` functions
+defined in the HeaderId Extension should note that those functions are now
+defined in the Table of Contents extension and should adjust their import
+statements accordingly (`from markdown.extensions.toc import slugify, unique`).
+
+[hid]: ../extensions/header_id.md
+
+### The `configs` Keyword is Deprecated
+
+Positional arguments and the `configs` keyword on the
+`markdown.extension.Extension` class (and its subclasses) are deprecated. Each
+individual configuration option should be passed to the class as a keyword/value
+pair. For example. one might have previously initiated an extension subclass
+like this:
+
+```python
+ext = SomeExtension(configs={'somekey': 'somevalue'})
+```
+
+That code should be updated to pass in the options directly:
+
+```python
+ext = SomeExtension(somekey='somevalue')
+```
+
+Extension authors will want to note that this affects the `makeExtension`
+function as well. Previously it was common for the function to be defined as
+follows:
+
+```python
+def makeExtension(configs=None):
+    return SomeExtension(configs=configs)
+```
+
+Extension authors will want to update their code to the following instead:
+
+```python
+def makeExtension(**kwargs):
+    return SomeExtension(**kwargs)
+```
+
+Failing to do so will result in a **`DeprecationWarning`** and will raise an
+error in the next release. See the [Extension API][mext] documentation for more
+information.
+
+In the event that an `markdown.extension.Extension` subclass overrides the
+`__init__` method and implements its own configuration handling, then the above
+may not apply. However, it is recommended that the subclass still calls the
+parent `__init__` method to handle configuration options like so:
+
+```python
+class SomeExtension(markdown.extension.Extension):
+    def __init__(**kwargs):
+        # Do pre-config stuff here
+        # Set config defaults
+        self.config = {
+            'option1' : ['value1', 'description1'],
+            'option2' : ['value2', 'description2']
+        }
+        # Set user defined configs
+        super(MyExtension, self).__init__(**kwargs)
+        # Do post-config stuff here
+```
+
+Note the call to `super` to get the benefits of configuration handling from the
+parent class. See the [documentation][config] for more information.
+
+[config]: ../extensions/api.md#configsettings
+[mext]: ../extensions/api.md#makeextension
+
+## What's New in Python-Markdown 2.6
+
+### Official Support for PyPy
+
+Official support for [PyPy] has been added. While Python-Markdown has most
+likely worked on PyPy for some time, it is now officially supported and tested
+on PyPy.
+
+[PyPy]: http://pypy.org/
+
+### YAML Style Meta-Data
+
+<del>The [Meta-Data] Extension now includes optional support for [YAML] style
+meta-data.</del> By default, the YAML deliminators are recognized, however, the
+actual data is parsed as previously. This follows the syntax of [MultiMarkdown],
+which inspired this extension.
+
+<del>Alternatively, if the `yaml` option is set, then the data is parsed as
+YAML.</del> <ins>As the `yaml` option was buggy, it was removed in 2.6.1. It is
+suggested that a preprocessor (like [docdata]) or a third party extension be
+used if you want true YAML support. See [Issue #390][#390] for a full
+explanation.</ins>
+
+[MultiMarkdown]: http://fletcherpenney.net/MultiMarkdown_Syntax_Guide#metadata
+[Meta-Data]: ../extensions/meta_data.md
+[YAML]: http://yaml.org/
+[#390]: https://github.com/Python-Markdown/markdown/issues/390
+[docdata]: https://github.com/waylan/docdata
+
+### Table of Contents Extension Refactored
+
+The [Table of Contents][TOC] Extension has been refactored and some new features
+have been added. See the documentation for a full explanation of each feature
+listed below:
+
+* The extension now assigns the Table of Contents to the `toc` attribute of
+  the Markdown class regardless of whether a "marker" was found in the
+  document. Third party frameworks no longer need to insert a "marker," run
+  the document through Markdown, then extract the Table of Contents from the
+  document.
+
+* The Table of Contents Extension is now a "registered extension." Therefore,
+  when the `reset` method of the Markdown class is called, the `toc` attribute
+  on the Markdown class is cleared (set to an empty string).
+
+* When the `marker` configuration option is set to an empty string, the parser
+  completely skips the process of searching the document for markers. This
+  should save parsing time when the Table of Contents Extension is being used
+  only to assign ids to headers.
+
+* A `separator` configuration option has been added allowing users to override
+  the separator character used by the slugify function.
+
+* A `baselevel` configuration option has been added allowing users to set the
+  base level of headers in their documents (h1-h6). This allows the header
+  levels to be automatically adjusted to fit within the hierarchy of an HTML
+  template.
+
+[TOC]: ../extensions/toc.md
+
+### Pygments can now be disabled
+
+The [CodeHilite][ch] Extension has gained a new configuration option:
+`use_pygments`. The option is `True` by default, however, it allows one to turn
+off Pygments code highlighting (set to `False`) while preserving the language
+detection features of the extension. Note that Pygments language guessing is not
+used as that would 'use Pygments'. If a language is defined for a code block, it
+will be assigned to the `<code>` tag as a class in the manner suggested by the
+[HTML5 spec][spec] (alternate output will not be entertained) and could
+potentially be used by a JavaScript library in the browser to highlight the code
+block.
+
+[ch]: ../extensions/code_hilite.md
+[spec]: http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/text-level-semantics.html#the-code-element
+
+### Miscellaneous
+
+Test coverage has been improved including running [flake8]. While those changes
+will not directly effect end users, the code is being better tested which will
+benefit everyone.
+
+[flake8]: https://flake8.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
+
+Various bug fixes have been made.  See the
+[commit log](https://github.com/Python-Markdown/markdown/commits/master)

 `type` will be used as the CSS class name and as default title. It must be a
 single word. So, for instance:

+<div class="admonition note">
+<p class="admonition-title">Note</p>

 Optionally, you can use custom titles. For instance:
 
-    !!! danger "Don't try this at home"
-        ...
+```md
+!!! danger "Don't try this at home"
+    ...

+<div class="admonition danger">
+<p class="admonition-title">Don't try this at home</p>
+<p>...</p>
+</div>
+```
 
 If you don't want a title, use a blank string `""`:
 
-    !!! important ""
-        This is a admonition box without a title.
+```md
+!!! important ""
+    This is a admonition box without a title.
+```
 
 results in:

-    </div>
-
+```html
+<div class="admonition important">

+</div>
+```
 
 rST suggests the following `types`, but you're free to use whatever you want:
     attention, caution, danger, error, hint, important, note, tip, warning.

 As discussed in [Integrating Your Code Into Markdown][], an instance of this
 class will need to be provided to Markdown. That instance would be created
 like so:
 
-    # an oversimplified regex

 Actually it would not be necessary to create that pattern (and not just because
 a more sophisticated emphasis pattern already exists in Markdown). The fact is,
 that example pattern is not very DRY. A pattern for `**strong**` text would
 be almost identical, with the exception that it would create a 'strong' element.

 library, that extension would be named `"mylib.mdext.myext"` where `mylib/mdext/myext.py`
 contains the extension and the `mylib` directory is on the PYTHONPATH.
 
 The string can also include the name of the class separated by a colon.
 Therefore, if you were to import the class like this:
-	
-	from path.to.module import SomeExtensionClass

 Then the named extension would comprise this string:

 used by various projects to convert Markdown syntax into HTML.

-Python-Markdown 2.0.1 Release Notes
-===================================
-
-Python-Markdown 2.0.1 is a bug-fix release. No new features have been added.
-Most notably, various issues with the command line script have been fixed.
-There have also been a few fixes for minor parsing bugs in some edge cases.
-For a full list of changes, see the git log.
-
-Backwards-incompatible Changes
-------------------------------
-
-Due to various complications in how Python handles command line scripts in 
-difference systems and with different installation tools, we were forced to 
-rename the command line script to `markdown` (no `.py`). A matching batch
-script will get installed on Windows. Any shell scripts which call 
-`markdown.py` will need to be altered to call `markdown` instead.

-Python-Markdown 2.3 Release Notes
-=================================
-
-We are pleased to release Python-Markdown 2.3 which adds one new extension,
-removes a few old (obsolete) extensions, and now runs on both Python 2 and 
-Python 3 without running the 2to3 conversion tool. See the list of changes 
-below for details.
-
-Python-Markdown supports Python versions 2.6, 2.7, 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3.
-
-Backwards-incompatible Changes
-------------------------------
-
-* Support has been dropped for Python 2.5. No guarantees are made that the
-library will work in any version of Python lower than 2.6. As all supported
-Python versions include the ElementTree library, Python-Markdown will no 
-longer try to import a third-party installation of ElementTree.
-
-* All classes are now "new-style" classes. In other words, all classes
-subclass from 'object'. While this is not likely to affect most users, 
-extension authors may need to make a few minor adjustments to their code.
-
-* "safe_mode" has been further restricted. Markdown formatted links must be
-of a known white-listed scheme when in "safe_mode" or the URL is discarded.
-The white-listed schemes are: 'HTTP', 'HTTPS', 'FTP', 'FTPS', 'MAILTO', and
-'news'. Schemeless URLs are also permitted, but are checked in other ways - 
-as they have been for some time.
-
-* The ids assigned to footnotes now contain a dash (`-`) rather than a colon
-(`:`) when `output_format` it set to `"html5"` or `"xhtml5"`. If you are making
-reference to those ids in your JavaScript or CSS and using the HTML5 output,
-you will need to update your code accordingly. No changes are necessary if
-you are outputting XHTML (the default) or HTML4.
-
-* The `force_linenos` configuration setting of the CodeHilite extension has been
-marked as **Pending Deprecation** and a new setting `linenums` has been added to
-replace it. See documentation for the [CodeHilite Extension] for an explanation
-of the new `linenums` setting. The new setting will honor the old 
-`force_linenos` if it is set, but it will raise a `PendingDeprecationWarning` 
-and will likely be removed in a future version of Python-Markdown.
-
-[CodeHilite Extension]: extensions/codehilite.html
-
-* The "RSS" extension has been removed and no longer ships with Python-Markdown.
-If you would like to continue using the extension (not recommended), it is 
-archived on [GitHub](https://gist.github.com/waylan/4773365).
-
-* The "HTML Tidy" Extension has been removed and no longer ships with Python-Markdown.
-If you would like to continue using the extension (not recommended), it is 
-archived on [GitHub](https://gist.github.com/waylan/5152650). Note that the 
-underlying library, uTidylib, is not Python 3 compatible. Instead, it is 
-recommended that the newer [PyTidyLib] (version 0.2.2+ for Python 3 
-comparability - install from GitHub not PyPI) be used. As the API for that 
-library is rather simple, it is recommended that the output of Markdown be 
-wrapped in a call to PyTidyLib rather than using an extension (for example: 
-`tidylib.tidy_fragment(markdown.markdown(source), options={...})`).
-
-[PyTidyLib]: http://countergram.com/open-source/pytidylib
-
-What's New in Python-Markdown 2.3
----------------------------------
-
-* The entire code base now universally runs in Python 2 and Python 3 without
-any need for running the 2to3 conversion tool. This not only simplifies testing,
-but by using Unicode_literals, results in more consistent behavior across
-Python versions. Additionally, the relative imports (made possible in Python 2
-via absolute_import) allows the entire library to more easily be embedded in a 
-sub-directory of another project. The various files within the library will 
-still import each other properly even though 'markdown' may not be in Python's
-root namespace.
-
-* The [Admonition Extension] has been added, which implements [rST-style][rST] 
-admonitions in the Markdown syntax. However, be warned that this extension 
-is experimental and the syntax and behavior is still subject to change. Please 
-try it out and report bugs and/or improvements.
-

-
-* URLs are no longer percent-encoded. This improves compatibility with the

-your URLs manually when needed.
-
-What's New in Python-Markdown 2.4
----------------------------------
-
-* Thanks to the hard work of [Dmitry Shachnev] the [Smarty Extension] has been 
-added, which implements [SmartyPants] using Python-Markdown's Extension API. 
-This offers a few benefits over a third party script. The HTML does not need
-to be "tokenized" twice, no hacks are required to combine SmartyPants and
-code highlighting, and we get markdown's escaping feature for free. Please try 
-it out and report bugs and/or improvements.

-Python-Markdown 2.5 Release Notes
-=================================
-
-We are pleased to release Python-Markdown 2.5 which adds a few new features
-and fixes various bugs. See the list of changes below for details.
-
-Python-Markdown version 2.5 supports Python versions 2.7, 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4.
-
-Backwards-incompatible Changes
-------------------------------
-
-* Python-Markdown no longer supports Python version 2.6. You must be using Python 
-  versions 2.7, 3.2, 3.3, or 3.4.
-
-[importlib]: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/importlib
-
-* The `force_linenos` configuration key on the [CodeHilite Extension] has been **deprecated**
-  and will raise a `KeyError` if provided. In the previous release (2.4), it was 
-  issuing a `DeprecationWarning`. The [`linenums`][linenums] keyword should be used 
-  instead, which provides more control of the output.
-
-[CodeHilite Extension]: extensions/code_hilite.html
-[linenums]: extensions/code_hilite.html#usage
-
-* Both `safe_mode` and the associated `html_replacement_text` keywords will be deprecated 
-  in version 2.6 and will raise a **`PendingDeprecationWarning`** in 2.5. The so-called
-  "safe mode" was never actually "safe" which has resulted in many people having a false 
-  sense of security when using it. As an alternative, the developers of Python-Markdown 
-  recommend that any untrusted content be passed through an HTML sanitizer (like [Bleach])
-  after being converted to HTML by markdown.
-
-    If your code previously looked like this:
-
-	    html = markdown.markdown(text, same_mode=True)
-
-	Then it is recommended that you change your code to read something like this:
-
-	    import bleach
-        html = bleach.clean(markdown.markdown(text))
-
-	If you are not interested in sanitizing untrusted text, but simply desire to escape
-	raw HTML, then that can be accomplished through an extension which removes HTML parsing:
-
-		from markdown.extensions import Extension
-
-		class EscapeHtml(Extension):
-			def extendMarkdown(self, md, md_globals):
-				del md.preprocessors['html_block']
-				del md.inlinePatterns['html']
-
-		html = markdown.markdown(text, extensions=[EscapeHtml()])
-
-	As the HTML would not be parsed with the above Extension, then the serializer will
-	escape the raw HTML, which is exactly what happens now when `safe_mode="escape"`.
-
-[Bleach]: https://bleach.readthedocs.io/
-
-* Positional arguments on the `markdown.Markdown()` are pending deprecation as are
-  all except the `text` argument on the `markdown.markdown()` wrapper function.
-  Only keyword arguments should be used. For example, if your code previously
-  looked like this:
-
-         html = markdown.markdown(text, ['extra'])
-    
-	Then it is recommended that you change it to read something like this:
-
-	    html = markdown.markdown(text, extensions=['extra'])
-
-	!!! Note
-	    This change is being made as a result of deprecating `"safe_mode"` as the 
-		`safe_mode` argument was one of the positional arguments. When that argument 
-		is removed, the two arguments following it will no longer be at the correct 
-		position. It is recommended that you always use keywords when they are supported
-		for this reason.
-
-* In previous versions of Python-Markdown, the built-in extensions received
-  special status and did not require the full path to be provided. Additionally,
-  third party extensions whose name started with `"mdx_"` received the same 
-  special treatment. This behavior will be deprecated in version 2.6 and will
-  raise a **`PendingDeprecationWarning`** in 2.5. Ensure that you always use the full 
-  path to your extensions. For example, if you previously did the following:
-
-        markdown.markdown(text, extensions=['extra'])
-
-    You should change your code to the following:
-
-	    markdown.markdown(text, extensions=['markdown.extensions.extra'])
-
-    The same applies to the command line:
-
-        $ python -m markdown -x markdown.extensions.extra input.txt
-
-    See the [documentation](reference.html#extensions) for a full explanation
-    of the current behavior.
-
-* The previously documented method of appending the extension configuration as 
-  a string to the extension name will be deprecated in Python-Markdown 
-  version 2.6 and will raise a **`PendingDeprecationWarning`** in 2.5. The 
-  [`extension_configs`](reference.html#extension_configs) keyword should 
-  be used instead. See the [documentation](reference.html#extension-configs) 
-  for a full explanation of the current behavior.
-
-What's New in Python-Markdown 2.5
----------------------------------
-
-*   The [Smarty Extension] has had a number of additional configuration settings
-    added, which allows one to define their own substitutions to better support
-    languages other than English. Thanks to [Martin Altmayer] for implementing this 
-	feature.
-
-[Smarty Extension]: extensions/smarty.html
-[Martin Altmayer]:https://github.com/MartinAltmayer
-
-*   Named Extensions (strings passed to the [`extensions`][ex] keyword of 
-    `markdown.Markdown`) can now point to any module and/or Class on your PYTHONPATH. 
-	While dot notation was previously supported, a module could not be at the root of 
-	your PYTHONPATH. The name had to contain at least one dot (requiring it to be a 
-	sub-module). This restriction no longer exists. 
-
-	Additionally, a Class may be specified in the name. The class must be at the end of 
-	the name (which uses dot notation from PYTHONPATH) and be separated by a colon from 
-	the module. 
-
-	Therefore, if you were to import the class like this:
-	
-		from path.to.module import SomeExtensionClass
-
-	Then the named extension would comprise this string:
-
-		"path.to.module:SomeExtensionClass"
-	
-	This allows multiple extensions to be implemented within the same module and still 
-	accessible when the user is not able to import the extension directly (perhaps from 
-	a template filter or the command line).
-
-	This also means that extension modules are no longer required to include the 
-	`makeExtension`	function which returns an instance of the extension class. However, 
-	if the user does not specify the class name (she only provides `"path.to.module"`)
-	the extension will fail to load without the `makeExtension` function included in
-	the module. Extension authors will want to document carefully what is required to
-	load their extensions.
-
-[ex]: reference.html#extensions
-
-*   The Extension Configuration code has been refactored to make it a little easier 
-    for extension authors to work with configuration settings. As a result, the 
-    [`extension_configs`][ec] keyword now accepts a dictionary rather than requiring 
-    a list of tuples. A list of tuples is still supported so no one needs to change 
-    their existing code. This should also simplify the learning curve for new users.
-
-	Extension authors are encouraged to review the new methods available on the 
-	`markdown.extnesions.Extension` class for handling configuration and adjust their
-	code going forward. The included extensions provide a model for best practices.
-	See the [API] documentation for a full explanation.
-
-[ec]: reference.html#extension_configs
-[API]: extensions/api.html#configsettings
-
-*   The [Command Line Interface][cli] now accepts a `--extensions_config` (or `-c`) 
-    option which accepts a file name and passes the parsed content of a [YAML] or 
-	[JSON]   file to the [`extension_configs`][ec] keyword of the `markdown.Markdown`
-	class. The contents of the YAML or JSON must map to a Python Dictionary which 
-	matches the format required by the `extension_configs` keyword. Note that 
-	[PyYAML] is required to parse YAML files.
-
-[cli]: cli.html#using-extensions
-[YAML]: http://yaml.org/
-[JSON]: http://json.org/
-[PyYAML]: http://pyyaml.org/
-
-*   The [admonition extension][ae] is no longer considered "experimental."
-
-[ae]: extensions/admonition.html
-
-*   There have been various refactors of the testing framework. While those changes
-    will not directly effect end users, the code is being better tested which will 
-    benefit everyone.
-
-*   Various bug fixes have been made.  See the
-    [commit log](https://github.com/Python-Markdown/markdown/commits/master)
-    for a complete history of the changes.

-Python-Markdown 2.6 Release Notes
-=================================
-
-We are pleased to release Python-Markdown 2.6 which adds a few new features
-and fixes various bugs. See the list of changes below for details.
-
-Python-Markdown version 2.6 supports Python versions 2.7, 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4 as well as PyPy.
-
-Backwards-incompatible Changes
-------------------------------
-
-### `safe_mode` Deprecated
-
-Both `safe_mode` and the associated `html_replacement_text` keywords are deprecated 
-in version 2.6 and will raise a **`DeprecationWarning`**. The `safe_mode` and
-`html_replacement_text` keywords will be ignored in version 2.7. The so-called
-"safe mode" was never actually "safe" which has resulted in many people having a false 
-sense of security when using it. As an alternative, the developers of Python-Markdown 
-recommend that any untrusted content be passed through an HTML sanitizer (like [Bleach])
-after being converted to HTML by markdown.
-
-If your code previously looked like this:
-
-    html = markdown.markdown(text, safe_mode=True)
-
-Then it is recommended that you change your code to read something like this:
-
-    import bleach
-    html = bleach.clean(markdown.markdown(text))
-
-If you are not interested in sanitizing untrusted text, but simply desire to escape
-raw HTML, then that can be accomplished through an extension which removes HTML parsing:
-
-    from markdown.extensions import Extension
-
-    class EscapeHtml(Extension):
-        def extendMarkdown(self, md, md_globals):
-        del md.preprocessors['html_block']
-        del md.inlinePatterns['html']
-
-    html = markdown.markdown(text, extensions=[EscapeHtml()])
-
-As the HTML would not be parsed with the above Extension, then the serializer will
-escape the raw HTML, which is exactly what happens now when `safe_mode="escape"`.
-
-[Bleach]: https://bleach.readthedocs.io/
-
-### Positional Arguments Deprecated
-
-Positional arguments on the `markdown.Markdown()` class are deprecated as are
-all except the `text` argument on the `markdown.markdown()` wrapper function.
-Using positional arguments will raise a **`DeprecationWarning`** in 2.6 and an error
-in version 2.7. Only keyword arguments should be used. For example, if your code
-previously looked like this:
-
-    html = markdown.markdown(text, [SomeExtension()])
-
-Then it is recommended that you change it to read something like this:
-
-    html = markdown.markdown(text, extensions=[SomeExtension()])
-
-!!! Note
-    This change is being made as a result of deprecating `"safe_mode"` as the 
-    `safe_mode` argument was one of the positional arguments. When that argument 
-    is removed, the two arguments following it will no longer be at the correct 
-    position. It is recommended that you always use keywords when they are supported
-    for this reason.
-
-### "Shortened" Extension Names Deprecated
-
-In previous versions of Python-Markdown, the built-in extensions received
-special status and did not require the full path to be provided. Additionally,
-third party extensions whose name started with `"mdx_"` received the same 
-special treatment. This behavior is deprecated and will raise a
-**`DeprecationWarning`** in version 2.6 and an error in 2.7. Ensure that you
-always use the full path to your extensions. For example, if you previously
-did the following:
-
-    markdown.markdown(text, extensions=['extra'])
-
-You should change your code to the following:
-
-    markdown.markdown(text, extensions=['markdown.extensions.extra'])
-
-The same applies to the command line:
-
-    $ python -m markdown -x markdown.extensions.extra input.txt
-
-Similarly, if you have used a third party extension (for example `mdx_math`), previously
-you might have called it like this:
-
-    markdown.markdown(text, extensions=['math'])
-
-As the `"mdx"` prefix will no longer be appended, you will need to change your code
-as follows (assuming the file `mdx_math.py` is installed at the root of your PYTHONPATH):
-
-    markdown.markdown(text, extensions=['mdx_math'])
-
-Extension authors will want to update their documentation to reflect the new behavior.
-
-See the [documentation](reference.html#extensions) for a full explanation
-of the current behavior.
-
-### Extension Configuration as Part of Extension Name Deprecated
-
-The previously documented method of appending the extension configuration options as 
-a string to the extension name is deprecated and will raise a
-**`DeprecationWarning`** in version 2.6 and an error in 2.7.
-The [`extension_configs`](reference.html#extension_configs) keyword should 
-be used instead. See the [documentation](reference.html#extension-configs) 
-for a full explanation of the current behavior.
-
-### HeaderId Extension Pending Deprecation
-
-The [HeaderId][hid] Extension is pending deprecation and will raise a
-**`PendingDeprecationWarning`** in version 2.6. The extension will be
-deprecated in version 2.7 and raise an error in version 2.8. Use the
-[Table of Contents][TOC] Extension instead, which offers most of the
-features of the HeaderId Extension and more (support for meta data is missing).
-
-Extension authors who have been using the `slugify` and `unique` functions
-defined in the HeaderId Extension should note that those functions are now
-defined in the Table of Contents extension and should adjust their import
-statements accordingly (`from markdown.extensions.toc import slugify, unique`).
-
-[hid]: extensions/header_id.html
-
-### The `configs` Keyword is Deprecated
-
-Positional arguments and the `configs` keyword on the `markdown.extension.Extension` class
-(and its subclasses) are deprecated. Each individual configuration option should be passed
-to the class as a keyword/value pair. For example. one might have previously initiated
-an extension subclass like this:
-
-    ext = SomeExtension(configs={'somekey': 'somevalue'})
-
-That code should be updated to pass in the options directly:
-
-    ext = SomeExtension(somekey='somevalue')
-
-Extension authors will want to note that this affects the `makeExtension` function as well.
-Previously it was common for the function to be defined as follows:
-
-    def makeExtension(configs=None):
-        return SomeExtension(configs=configs)
-
-Extension authors will want to update their code to the following instead:
-
-    def makeExtension(**kwargs):
-        return SomeExtension(**kwargs)
-
-Failing to do so will result in a **`DeprecationWarning`** and will raise an error in the next
-release. See the [Extension API][mext] documentation for more information.
-
-In the event that an `markdown.extension.Extension` subclass overrides the `__init__` method
-and implements its own configuration handling, then the above may not apply. However, it is
-recommended that the subclass still calls the parent `__init__` method to handle configuration
-options like so:
-
-    class SomeExtension(markdown.extension.Extension):
-        def __init__(**kwargs):
-            # Do pre-config stuff here
-            # Set config defaults
-            self.config = {
-                'option1' : ['value1', 'description1'],
-                'option2' : ['value2', 'description2']
-            }
-            # Set user defined configs
-            super(MyExtension, self).__init__(**kwargs)
-            # Do post-config stuff here
-
-Note the call to `super` to get the benefits of configuration handling from the parent class.
-See the [documentation][config] for more information.

-
-What's New in Python-Markdown 2.6
----------------------------------
-
-### Official Support for PyPy
-
-Official support for [PyPy] has been added. While Python-Markdown has most likely
-worked on PyPy for some time, it is now officially supported and tested on PyPy.
-
-[PyPy]: http://pypy.org/
-
-### YAML Style Meta-Data
-
-The [Meta-Data] Extension now includes optional support for [YAML] style
-meta-data. By default, the YAML deliminators are recognized, however, the
-actual data is parsed as previously.  This follows the syntax of
-[MultiMarkdown], which inspired this extension.
-
-<del>Alternatively, if the `yaml` option is set, then the data is parsed as YAML.</del>
-<ins>As the `yaml` option was buggy, it was removed in 2.6.1. It is suggested that a third
-party extension be used if you want true YAML support. See [Issue #390][#390] for a full
-explanation.</ins>
-
-[MultiMarkdown]: http://fletcherpenney.net/MultiMarkdown_Syntax_Guide#metadata
-[Meta-Data]: extensions/meta_data.html
-[YAML]: http://yaml.org/
-[#390]: https://github.com/Python-Markdown/markdown/issues/390
-
-### Table of Contents Extension Refactored
-
-The [Table of Contents][TOC] Extension has been refactored and some new features
-have been added.  See the documentation for a full explanation of each feature
-listed below:
-
-*   The extension now assigns the Table of Contents to the `toc` attribute of
-    the Markdown class regardless of whether a "marker" was found in the document.
-    Third party frameworks no longer need to insert a "marker," run the document
-    through Markdown, then extract the Table of Contents from the document.
-
-*   The Table of Contents Extension is now a "registered extension." Therefore, when the `reset`
-    method of the Markdown class is called, the `toc` attribute on the Markdown
-    class is cleared (set to an empty string).
-
-*   When the `marker` configuration option is set to an empty string, the parser completely
-    skips the process of searching the document for markers. This should save parsing
-    time when the Table of Contents Extension is being used only to assign ids to headers.
-
-*   A `separator` configuration option has been added allowing users to override the
-    separator character used by the slugify function.
-
-*   A `baselevel` configuration option has been added allowing users to set the base level
-    of headers in their documents (h1-h6). This allows the header levels to be
-    automatically adjusted to fit within the hierarchy of an HTML template.
-
-[TOC]: extensions/toc.html
-
-### Pygments can now be disabled
-
-The [CodeHilite][ch] Extension has gained a new configuration option: `use_pygments`.
-The option is `True` by default, however, it allows one to turn off Pygments code
-highlighting (set to `False`) while preserving the language detection features of
-the extension. Note that Pygments language guessing is not used as that would 'use
-Pygments'. If a language is defined for a code block, it will be assigned to the 
-`<code>` tag as a class in the manner suggested by the [HTML5 spec][spec]
-(alternate output will not be entertained) and could potentially be used by a JavaScript
-library in the browser to highlight the code block.
-
-[ch]: extensions/code_hilite.html
-[spec]: http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/text-level-semantics.html#the-code-element
-
-### Miscellaneous
-
-Test coverage has been improved including running [flake8]. While those changes
-will not directly effect end users, the code is being better tested which will 
-benefit everyone.
-
-[flake8]: https://flake8.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
-
-Various bug fixes have been made.  See the
-[commit log](https://github.com/Python-Markdown/markdown/commits/master)
