The current version of python-markdown implements all Markdown syntax
features and fully passes [Markdown Test Suite
1.0](http://six.pairlist.net/pipermail/markdown-discuss/2004-December/000909.html), despite having a few known issues (see below).

## Known Issues

There are currently no known issues with version 2.0. Please file a [bug report](http://www.freewisdom.org/projects/python-markdown/Tickets/new.edit) if you find any.

## Extra Features

### Bi-directional Text

The version currently in subversion adds support for bi-directional text.

### Footnotes

Python Markdown supports footnotes as proposed in [this
thread](http://six.pairlist.net/pipermail/markdown-discuss/2005-August/001480.html).

### Attributes

It also supports attributes (see [this
thread](http://six.pairlist.net/pipermail/markdown-discuss/2005-August/001486.html)).

### Middle-Word Emphasis

Python Markdown defaults to ignoring middle-word emphasis.  In other words, `MY_CONFIG_VALUE` is not going to be converted into MY<i>CONFIG</i>VALUE.
This it can be switched off.  (See [this
thread](http://six.pairlist.net/pipermail/markdown-discuss/2005-October/001610.html)
for discussion.)

Many other extra features a available through various [extensions](http://www.freewisdom.org/projects/python-markdown/Available_Extensions).
