The markdown package has been somewhat superseded by rmarkdown, based on Pandoc. However commonmark would be easier to include (no dependency on Haskell), much faster, and more memory efficient. The good folks at Rstudio will probably have considered this option, and may even have started working on R bindings. Commonmark seems to use an intermediate Abstract Syntax Tree, which could be also useful for custom processing.
