Beyond standard Markdown primitives, docmd supports GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) extensions and custom element attribute parsers. These primitives provide fine-grained control over document semantics and element styling.

Task Lists

Render interactive or read-only task lists for release planning and feature tracking:

• Plugin API finalisation

Inline Emojis

Incorporate standard emoji shortcodes inline within Markdown prose:

We :heart: high-performance documentation engines! :rocket: :sparkles:

We ❤️ high-performance documentation engines! 🚀 ✨

Custom Element Attributes ({ })

Attach unique IDs, custom CSS classes, and inline styles to headings, images, and links using attribute block notation { }.

Element Identifiers (#id)

Assign custom HTML element IDs to enable direct deep-linking to technical subsections:

## Performance Benchmarks {#benchmarks-2026}

CSS Utility Classes (.class)

Apply utility classes directly without writing custom inline HTML:

## Centred Section Title {.text-centre .text-accent}

Button-Styled Links

Transform standard Markdown links into call-to-action buttons:

[Download Latest Release](#download){.docmd-button}

Document Footnotes

Inject technical citations or reference details as footnotes. The compiler collects and renders footnotes at the bottom of the document automatically:
