Description
Currently we are using master branch of Hoedown, which has a lot of bugs. There are (at least) two better alternatives:
- Develop branch of Hoedown. I guess the API is mostly the same.
- cmark, the C reference implementation of CommonMark, currently under active development.
However, neither is accessible through CocoaPods; I am not sure how to link a Git submodule.
Note that CMake is required as a compile-time dependency. I think it's fine for @uranusjr to install CMake (or he may have already), and Travis CI has CMake by default.

Research direction
Review the current Hoedown integration, then compare the develop branch and cmark options described in the issue. Check how CocoaPods, Git submodules, CMake, and Travis CI would handle the selected parser. Done means one parser is integrated and the build passes with the dependency available.
