#parse_markdown(markdown_string, renderer_options: {}, markdown_options: {}, image_options: {}) ⇒ Object

Return HTML which is passed through the Redcloth markdown processor, using a custom renderer so that we can manipulate images using contentful’s URL-based API. NOTE that this is super-permissive out of the box. Set options to suit when you call the method.
