Right now the footnotes and tables extensions are the only ones enabled. I might be a good idea to check what other extensions we're including and allow those to be optionally enabled. I believe only footnotes and tables were enabled because some of the others were tripping people up when enabled.

One of the reasons I was wanting it is because of the easy step from multimarkdown to full LaTeX documentation to create really nice documentation or books as PDF. I think multimarkdown would have a nice advantage there.

Basically it's really nice to have a portable write-once solution. The meta-data that you can put into multimarkdown is quite handy where the markdown solution that I think you support does not. You explicitly have to specify things such as author, title, etc etc whilst in MMD you don't.

Did you have a look at the metadata attributes at all?
