Hello, I've published a Ruby gem that lets you create slide shows and author slides in plain text using a wiki-style markup language that's easy-to-write and easy-to-read. Yes, that's Markdown. (Textile is supported too ;-) You can find two samples online in Markdown: o http://slideshow.rubyforge.org/svn/samples/rest.text o

Being able to do "odt2txt.py mydoc.odt | less" is the main motivation, but it also works for doing command line conversion of odt to html by combining odt2txt with any of the Markdown implementations.

Hello all, I'm announcing python-markdown2 -- another Python implementation of Markdown. (MIT license.) http://code.google.com/p/python-markdown2/ It should be a drop-in replacement for [markdown.py](http://www.freewisdom.org/projects/python-markdown/). It fixes some issues that I ran into with markdown.py [^1]. I believe that it is faster than markdown.py [^2] and on par or a little faster than Markdown.pl. It is basically a re-write of Markdown.pl in Python and generally generates the *exact same* output as Markd...

I'd like to announce a beta release of the Fenced-Code-Blocks Extension for Python-Markdown. <http://www.freewisdom.org/projects/python-markdown/Available_Extensions> The latest code for Python-Markdown and packaged extensions are now available on Gitorious. <http://gitorious.org/projects/python-markdown> The same syntax is used as the just released PHP Markdown Extra 1.2. I did add the option to def...

Hello, I need to to slightly extend the markdown syntax. (place an image (img tag) in text which URL has not yet been determined). Therefore I want to define something like $[Alt text](img.jpg) which would be replaced by my pre-processor with  and then sent to markdown. Is there any special syntax that should be used for such 3rd party extensions? How would you do

I'm currently attempting to write a spec for parsing Markdown Extra, and since one goal is to minimize the differences in output between implementations, I've made a tool allowing me to compare who does what for any given input. I hope this can also facilitate future discussions about the syntax. So here's Babelmark, a testbed for various Markdown implementations were you

...e on the answers, incorporate them into a spec. Perhaps we can use the wiki at http://markdown.infogami.com/ for this. (BTW, I just cleaned up the wiki removing links to unrelated sites and reorganizing the rest into what seemed like a more coherent set of categories.) - yuri -- http://sputnik.freewisdom.org/

I've rewritten the code block grammar in the Markdown Extra [spec][] to match what Markdown.pl and PHP Markdown do. It should now handle things such as this: ~~~ > One Two > Three Four Five ~~~ as one blockquote containing only one code block with five lines, equivalent to this one (using fenced code blocks instead for clarity): ~~~ > One >

I am happy to announce the release of Python-Markdown 2.0 final. We have versions for Python 2.3-2.6 and Python 3.0!

I like to use markdown's reference links with the implicit name syntax. It allows keeping a table of links seperate from the referencing link. However, what I don't like is that I have no way of (optionally) including the table of links in the markdown's output. For instance, in the example: I get 10 times more traffic from [Google][] than from [Yahoo][] or [MSN][]. [google]:

Hi John, there?s a bug in Markdown.pl: [foo*bar](#) [baz*quux](#) This expands to the following: <p><a href="#">foo<em>bar</a> <a href="#">baz</em>quux</a></p> Those `*` should either be disregarded or the tags should nest correctly: 1. <p><a href="#">foo*bar</a> <a

Hello List, I have recently started using Michel Fortin's PHP "Markdown Extra" implementation to programmatically transform my markdown text files into HTML. Firstly I'd like to say markdown is very cool -- thanks to everyone involved :) I'd also like to suggest two additions to markdown: 1) I very often use /this/ markdown to indicate emphasis since I find it much

Hello all, I've began writing the parsing section of the spec, and I though I'd let you know about where I'm heading with all this. Basically, parsing is defined as three consecutive passes: parsing document elements, parsing block elements and parsing span elements. Each pass is going to contain a set of rules the parser should attempt to match while parsing the input. Rules

Python-markdown currently replaces all straight quotes (`"`) with the html entity (`&quot;`). Someone recently complained about this in a [bug report][]. As it turns out the quote was the symptom that brought the real problem to light[^1]. In any event, the reporter pointed out that markdown.pl does not replace straight quotes with the html entity. I know John Gruber has mentioned before

Hello, I read David Wheeler's table proposal[1] for Markdown and very much agree with his conclusion and PostgreSQL-inspired proposed format. I also read the mailing list archives for 2009 but did not find any clear concesus on whether DW's format was officially accepted (I hope it is soon!). However, I want to ask: has anyone considered taking these simple ASCII table drawings to the
