Known weaknesses

Each one links to the public issue, changelog or docs page it came from, where we have one.

1. 01

   Limited language support

   Mistune is a pure Python implementation, which restricts its usability for projects not using Python.

2. 02

   Complex setup for advanced features

   Advanced parsing and rendering options require deep understanding of Mistune's API and configuration.

3. 03

   Small community support

   The open-source project has a relatively small user base, leading to limited third-party plugins and fewer community-driven solutions for issues.
