These two libraries seem to have almost the same amount of popularity, As a new user, what differences should I know about?

Other lib: https://github.com/chjj/marked

The major difference seems to be that marked goes straight from Markdown to HTML without an intermediate stage that allows you to tweak the output before turning into HTML.

It also appears that marked's selling point is speed which is nice I guess, but I'd like to see the app where markdown conversion is your bottleneck ;)
