Important update for Fedora 34 users! A new version of the python-markdown2 package is here, featuring key fixes and enhancements for better performance.
#### python-markdown2 2.4.2 #### - [pull #408] Fix for fenced code blocks issue #396 - [pull #410] Be more strict on auto linking urls, RE DOS fix

Summary

Markdown is a text-to-HTML filter; it translates an easy-to-read /

easy-to-write structured text format into HTML. Markdown's text format

is most similar to that of plain text email, and supports features

such as headers, emphasis, code blocks, blockquotes, and links.

This is a fast and complete Python implementation of the Markdown

spec.
