    input

    this is a smile :smile: emoji

    output

    <p>this is a smile 😄 emoji</p>

• start ordered lists at an arbitrary number: add support for defining the first item number of ordered lists (9cdc35e), closes #377

  • Example:

    input

    3. foo
    4. bar
    5. baz

    output

    <ol start="3">
      <li>foo</li>
      <li>bar</li>
      <li>baz</li>
    </ol>

• underline: add EXPERIMENTAL support for underline (084b819), closes #450

  • Usage:

    var conv = new showdown.Converter({underline: true});

  • Example:

    input

    this is __underlined__ and this is ___also underlined___

    output

    <p>this is <u>underlined</u> and this is <u>also underlined</u></p>

  • Note: With this option enabled, underscore no longer parses as <em> or <strong>

BREAKING CHANGES

• start ordered lists at an arbitrary number: Since showdown now supports starting ordered lists at an arbitrary number, list output may differ.
