+Available Extensions
+====================
+
+Python Markdown offers a flexible extension mechanism, which makes it possible
+to change and/or extend the behavior of the parser without having to edit the
+actual source files.
+
+To use an extension, pass it's name to markdown with the `extensions` keyword.
+See the [Library Reference](../reference.html#extensions) for more details.
+
+ markdown.markdown(some_text, extensions=['extra', 'nl2br'])
+
+From the command line, specify an extension with the `-x` option. See the
+[Command Line docs](../cli.html) or use the `--help` option for more details.
+
+ python -m markdown -x extra input.txt > output.html
+

+Third Party Extensions
+----------------------
+
+Various individuals and/or organizations have developed extensions which they
+have made available to the public. A [list of third party
+extensions](https://github.com/waylan/Python-Markdown/wiki/Third-Party-Extensions)
+is maintained on the wiki for your convenience. The Python-Markdown team
+offers no official support for these extensions. Please see the developer of
+each extension for support.
+
+If you would like to write your own extensions, see the
+[Extensions API](api.html) for details.
