Furthermore, GFM* has fast become a defacto standard for newer implementations—still a bit of incompatibility, but improving.

* GFM = Github Flavoured Markdown, even if Gitlab have very cheekily taken on the same initialism for their (in fairness, highly compatible) flavour.

Has anyone found a good GFM to HTML converter that does not call out to a SaaS service (often GitHub)? I keep ending up in use cases where I need to do this conversion or do a live preview without having the data leave the box. When I was looking around previously I found out that under the hood they were using the GitHub API to actually do the preview.

I've used marked for years, and it doesn't make any network calls. In fact, it looks like it does tons of regex.
