Add Goldmark as the new default markdown handler

This commit adds the fast and CommonMark compliant Goldmark as the new default markdown handler in Hugo.

If you want to continue using BlackFriday as the default for md/markdown extensions, you can use this configuration:

```toml
[markup]
defaultMarkdownHandler="blackfriday"
```

From Hugo 0.28, the default syntax highlighter in Hugo is [Chroma](https://github.com/alecthomas/chroma); it is built in Go and is really, really fast -- and for the most important parts compatible with Pygments.
If you want to continue to use Pygments (see below), set `pygmentsUseClassic=true` in your site config.
Hugo uses [Chroma](https://github.com/alecthomas/chroma) as its code highlighter; it is built in Go and is really, really fast -- and for the most important parts compatible with Pygments we used before.
The example below shows a simple code snippet from the Hugo source highlighted with the `highlight` shortcode. Note that the gohugo.io site is generated with `pygmentsUseClasses=true` (see [Generate Syntax Highlighter CSS](#generate-syntax-highlighter-css)).
## Configure Syntax Highlighter
* `linenos=inline` or `linenos=table` (`table` will give copy-and-paste friendly code blocks) turns on line numbers.
* `hl_lines` lists a set of line numbers or line number ranges to be highlighted. Note that the hyphen range syntax is only supported for Chroma.
See [Configure Highlight](/getting-started/configuration-markup#highlight).
## Generate Syntax Highlighter CSS
If you run with `pygmentsUseClasses=true` in your site config, you need a style sheet.
You can generate one with Hugo:
```bash
hugo gen chromastyles --style=monokai > syntax.css
```
Run `hugo gen chromastyles -h` for more options. See https://xyproto.github.io/splash/docs/ for a gallery of available styles.
## Highlight Shortcode
Highlighting is carried out via the [built-in shortcode](/content-management/shortcodes/) `highlight`. `highlight` takes exactly one required parameter for the programming language to be highlighted and requires a closing shortcode. Note that `highlight` is *not* used for client-side javascript highlighting.
Options:
* `linenos`: Valid values are `true`, `false`, `table`, `inline`. `table` will give copy-and-paste friendly code blocks) turns on line numbers.
* Setting `linenos` to `false` will turn off linenumbers if it's configured to be on in site config.{{< new-in "0.60.0" >}}
* `hl_lines` lists a set of line numbers or line number ranges to be highlighted.
* `linenostart=199` starts the line number count from 199.
With that, this:

## Configure Syntax Highlighter
To make the transition from Pygments to Chroma seamless, they share a common set of configuration options:
pygmentsOptions
: A comma separated list of options. See below for a full list.
pygmentsCodeFences
: Set to true to enable syntax highlighting in code fences with a language tag in markdown (see below for an example).
pygmentsStyle
: The style of code highlighting. Note that this option is not
relevant when `pygmentsUseClasses` is set.
Syntax highlighting galleries:
**Chroma** ([short snippets](https://xyproto.github.io/splash/docs/all.html),
[long snippets](https://xyproto.github.io/splash/docs/longer/all.html)),
[Pygments](https://help.farbox.com/pygments.html)
pygmentsUseClasses
: Set to `true` to use CSS classes to format your highlighted code. See [Generate Syntax Highlighter CSS](#generate-syntax-highlighter-css).
pygmentsCodeFencesGuessSyntax
: Set to `true` to try to do syntax highlighting on code fenced blocks in markdown without a language tag.
pygmentsUseClassic
: Set to true to use Pygments instead of the much faster Chroma.
### Options
`pygmentsOptions` can be set either in site config or overridden per code block in the Highlight shortcode or template func.
noclasses
: Use inline style.
linenos
: For Chroma, any value in this setting will print line numbers. Pygments has some more fine grained control.
linenostart
: Start the line numbers from this value (default is 1).
hl_lines
: Highlight a space separated list of line numbers. For Chroma, you can provide a list of ranges, i.e. "3-8 10-20".
The full set of supported options for Pygments is: `encoding`, `outencoding`, `nowrap`, `full`, `title`, `style`, `noclasses`, `classprefix`, `cssclass`, `cssstyles`, `prestyles`, `linenos`, `hl_lines`, `linenostart`, `linenostep`, `linenospecial`, `nobackground`, `lineseparator`, `lineanchors`, `linespans`, `anchorlinenos`, `startinline`. See the [Pygments HTML Formatter Documentation](http://pygments.org/docs/formatters/#HtmlFormatter) for details.
## Generate Syntax Highlighter CSS
If you run with `pygmentsUseClasses=true` in your site config, you need a style sheet.
You can generate one with Hugo:
```bash
hugo gen chromastyles --style=monokai > syntax.css

Note that `highlight` is *not* used for client-side javascript highlighting.
### Example `highlight` Shortcode
{{< code file="example-highlight-shortcode-input.md" >}}
{{</* highlight html */>}}
<section id="main">
<div>
<h1 id="title">{{ .Title }}</h1>
{{ range .Pages }}
{{ .Render "summary"}}
{{ end }}
</div>
</section>
{{</* /highlight */>}}
{{< /code >}}
## Highlight Template Func
See [Highlight](/functions/highlight/).
## Highlight in Code Fences
## Highlighting in Code Fences
It is also possible to add syntax highlighting with GitHub flavored code fences. To enable this, set the `pygmentsCodeFences` to `true` in Hugo's [configuration file](/getting-started/configuration/);
Highlighting in code fences is enabled by default.{{< new-in "0.60.0" >}}

```go-html-template
<section id="main">
<div>
<h1 id="title">{{ .Title }}</h1>
{{ range .Pages }}
{{ .Render "summary"}}
{{ end }}
</div>
</section>
```go-html-template{hl_lines=[3,"5-6"],linenos=true}
```
````
````
```go {linenos=table,hl_lines=[8,"15-17"],linenostart=199}
// ... code
````
Gives this:
```go {linenos=table,hl_lines=[8,"15-17"],linenostart=199}
// GetTitleFunc returns a func that can be used to transform a string to
// title case.
//
// The supported styles are
//
// - "Go" (strings.Title)
// - "AP" (see https://www.apstylebook.com/)
// - "Chicago" (see https://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/home.html)
//
// If an unknown or empty style is provided, AP style is what you get.
func GetTitleFunc(style string) func(s string) string {
switch strings.ToLower(style) {
case "go":
return strings.Title
case "chicago":
tc := transform.NewTitleConverter(transform.ChicagoStyle)
return tc.Title
default:
tc := transform.NewTitleConverter(transform.APStyle)
return tc.Title
}
}
```
{{< new-in "0.60.0" >}}Note that only Goldmark supports passing attributes such as `hl_lines`, and it's important that it does not contain any spaces. See [goldmark-highlighting](https://github.com/yuin/goldmark-highlighting) for more information.
The options are the same as in the [highlighting shortcode](/content-management/syntax-highlighting/#highlight-shortcode),including `linenos=false`, but note the slightly different Markdown attribute syntax.

## Highlight with Pygments Classic
If you for some reason don't want to use the built-in Chroma highlighter, you can set `pygmentsUseClassic=true` in your config and add Pygments to your path.
{{% note "Disclaimers on Pygments" %}}
* Pygments is relatively slow and _causes a performance hit when building your site_, but Hugo has been designed to cache the results to disk.
* The caching can be turned off by setting the `--ignoreCache` flag to `true`.
* The languages available for highlighting depend on your Pygments installation.
{{% /note %}}
If you have never worked with Pygments before, here is a brief primer:
+ Install Python from [python.org](https://www.python.org/downloads/). Version 2.7.x is already sufficient.
+ Run `pip install Pygments` in order to install Pygments. Once installed, Pygments gives you a command `pygmentize`. Make sure it sits in your PATH; otherwise, Hugo will not be able to find and use it.
On Debian and Ubuntu systems, you may also install Pygments by running `sudo apt-get install python3-pygments`.
