> Support for Markdown comments in the standard doclet.
>
> To enable Markdown in a comment, start the comment with `/**md` followed by whitespace. The syntax is as defined for CommonMark.
>
> The work is in 3 parts:
>
> 1. Update the Compiler Tree API to support Markdown tree nodes, containing strings of (uninterpreted) Markdown source code.
> 2. Import commonmark-java into the `jdk.javadoc` module, to be able to convert Markdown strings to HTML.
> 3. Update the standard doclet, to leverage the preceding two parts, to translate Markdown in documentation comments to `Content` nodes.
>
> There are new tests both for the low level work in the Compiler Tree API, and for the overall high-level work in the doclet.
