The original markdown package is unmaintained [1]. There is apparently a replacement, but it is still in alpha [2]. rustup (from which elan was forked) switched to using pulldown-cmark [3] five years ago.
I am the Debian package maintainer for elan[4] and rust-markdown[5]. I've been asked [6] if elan can please drop the dependency on markdown in order that rust-markdown can be removed from Debian.
This PR is a port of [3a-d] to elan.
N.B. I am not a rust developer, but I have checked that this PR compiles.
