+Python-Markdown Extra
+=====================
+
+Summary
+-------
+
+A compilation of various Python-Markdown extensions that (mostly) imitates
+[PHP Markdown Extra](http://michelf.com/projects/php-markdown/extra/).
+
+The supported extensions include:
+
+* [Abbreviations](abbreviations.html)
+* [Attribute Lists](attr_list.html)
+* [Definition Lists](definition_lists.html)
+* [Fenced Code Blocks](fenced_code_blocks.html)
+* [Footnotes](footnotes.html)
+* [Tables](tables.html)
+* [Smart Strong](smart_strong.html)
+
+See each individual extension for syntax documentation. Extra and all its
+supported extensions are included in the standard Markdown library.
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+From the Python interpreter:
+
+ >>> import markdown
+ >>> html = markdown.markdown(text, ['extra'])
+
+In the unlikely event that one or more of the supported extensions are not
+available for import, Markdown will simply continue without that
+extension. If you would like to be notified of such failures,
+you may set Python-Markdown's logger level to "WARN".
+
+There may be [additional extensions](index.html) that are distributed with
+Python-Markdown that are not included here in Extra. The features
+of those extensions are not part of PHP Markdown Extra, and
+therefore, not part of Python-Markdown Extra. If you really would
+like Extra to include additional extensions, we suggest creating
+your own clone of Extra under a different name
+(see the [Extension API](api.html)).
