Let me see if I can help untangle it: - In 2006, Niklas Frykholm created `markdown.lua` [1], a regex-based Markdown parser written in Lua. - In 2009, John MacFarlane, the founder of Pandoc, created Lunamark [2], an LPEG-based Markdown parser that was ca three orders of magnitude faster than `markdown.lua`. Around 2011, there is a bunch of commits with speed optimizations by Hans. - In 2016, I created the Markdown Package for TeX [3] as a fork of Lunamark [3]. Initially, I would contribute fixes upstream and take them downstream. In 2023, there was a significant rewrite to support the CommonMark standard [4], which makes our code base largely incompatible with Lunamark. We are actively developed with monthly releases. Confusingly, the Markdown Package for TeX contains a file titled `markdown.lua` even though there is no relation to Niklas Frykholm's code.
