While I like having specific extension methods to load specific extensions onto the pipeline builder, it is also handy not to have to create an extension method for every extension I create.
To that end, I tend to use a single extension method for registering simple extensions.

Would you consider including this method on the MarkdownPipelinBuilder class itself? Happy to complete a pull request for this.

Method:

public MarkdownPipelineBuilder Use<TExtension>() where TExtension : class, IMarkdownExtension, new()
{
    Extensions.AddIfNotAlready<TExtension>();
    return this;
}

Usage:

var pipeline = new MarkdownPipelineBuilder()
    .Use<AwesomeExtension>()
    .Build();
