Add support for using markdown-it instead of marked
markdown-it is the markdown parser used by Visual Studio Code, so using it grants access to a rich ecosystem of plugins.
resolves #313
Found that the id tags created for headers differed from those created by marked, which might catch people out, if they expect markdown-it to be a drop-in replacement.
This should be fixed
Wow thanks a lot for this! Spending a month in New Zealand so I was traveling for the last few days... I'll try to go through it this week or next. Also still need to update marked like 10 major versions 😅
Regarding header IDs I would say let's stick with the markdown-it default even if it differs from marked, and rather add a note in the readme that they are different (and add the config instructions for changing it to make it the same as marked).
To be clear before I start wading into the code base: We want the default markdown-it behaviour, which is to not assign header IDs at all. If so, that's fair.
Enjoy New Zealand - here in the UK it's raining non-stop.
