[BUG] commonmark dependency is unmaintained

[The-Compiler]

The commonmark repository reads:

This repository has been archived by the owner. It is now read-only.

and

and

Warning: commonmark.py is now deprecated. We recommend using markdown-it-py for a commonmark parser going forward. See readthedocs/commonmark.py#308 for background and discussion.

Which might mean it should be replaced at some point or another - unless the way it's used in rich makes this situation not a problem.

(took the freedom to delete the issue template - I usually don't do that, but here, nothing of it really applies)

We do have plans to replace it with a more modern parser, which supports tables and more features. commonmark seems a fairly solid bit of code, so I don't anticipate any problems in the short term.

Thanks for the quick answer! 👍 FWIW I can second their recommendation of markdown-it-py - I've used it in a project for a bit of markdown parsing (calculating student grades based on a Markdown checklist, also using Rich by the way!), and I've been happy with it.

Will track it here. #2156

Did I solve your problem?

Why not buy the devs a coffee to say thanks?
