+/**
+ * This module replaces markdown-it with an empty function. markdown-it
+ * is a dependency of the prosemirror-markdown package. prosemirror-markdown
+ * uses markdown-it to parse markdown and produce an AST. However, the
+ * features that use prosemirror-markdown in the GitLab application do not
+ * require markdown parsing.
+ *
+ * Replacing markdown-it with this empty function removes unnecessary javascript
+ * from the production builds.
