+  even if it is available. The default is to use Discount if available,

+  MultiMarkdown, and this is recommended.
+* `mdwn_footnotes`: If set to 1, implementations that support it will
+  recognise the PHP Markdown Extra syntax for footnotes. The default
+  is 1.
+* `mdwn_alpha_lists`: If set to 1, Text::Markdown::Discount will
+  accept letters as well as numbers in ordered list markers. The
+  default is 0, to avoid unintended parsing of lines that happen
+  to begin with a letter and a dot, such as "C. S. Lewis was an
+  author" or "M. Descartes was a philosopher".
