i'll be doing some experiments myself, but i thought i'd ask here first about back-translation and round-tripping with markdown and its xhtml output. the object is to take markdown output, reduce it back to a markdown text-file, then regenerate the output again and compare it with the "original" output, repeating if necessary until there exists a pair of files that give perfect agreement. has anyone done such experiments already? is aaron's back-translation tool the best one?> http://www.aaronsw.com/2002/html2text/anyone know if/when/where it has problems? thanks in advance... -bowerbird p.s. anyone here have reaction to the analysis of markdown from ivan kristic for the one-laptop-per-child project?>http://dev.laptop.org/git.do?p=users/krstic/docformat;a=blob;h=d191a5a9f8beb6a052b5e8d30f7a4da99f67a07a;hb=a811c70ced7a02adfc35f66453c7548f8095af6f;f=d ocument-format.txt -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Take a look there, I achive pretty good results. -- Milian Wolff http://milianw.de
