Hi there I''m going to add microformats in my app. I''ve googled for a while but I can''t find any plugin/gem oriented to the creation and rendering in templates of microformats. I''ve seen the REST page on microformats.org but can''t find anything more. I know that writing an implementation from scratch...

...bout whether or not this is a direction Markdown should go, as well as suggestions for improving the syntax, which I think could be improved. (especially since it looks a lot like inline link syntax). Another thing that might be worth considering is the possibility of a way to mark up more microformats in a reasonable way. Events are one important case, but so are people, and maybe a more extensible way to do it is worth thinking about? Thanks, -mike * - Date handling needs to be improved, to build a real ISO date from human readable ones in a reasonable way, but I'm not a Perl wizard...

...lain text using a wiki-style markup language that's easy-to-write and easy-to-read. Yes, that's Markdown.

Hi Rails folks, I''ve been giving some thought on how something I''ve been calling "microtemplates" (http://microtemplates.org) might relate to Rails. Briefly, microtemplates are a way of specifying HTML templates that is inspired by microformats. For example, data like this: {vcard:{fn:"Steve Farrell",url:"http://smackman.com"}} could be bound to this template: <span class="vcard"> <a class="url fn"></a> </span> to produce this HTML presentation (which happens to be a va...

Does anyone have an example of using REST and submitting data through a POST operation and then possibly loading that data with activerecord. Also, if you have client code written in another language (java,.net, C), would you have that code as well? Berlin Brown

Railoholic-Anonymous Members: I am tooling around with the idea of forming a project which would create a calendar plugin/engine with the following features: 1. DB schema mapping all necessary iCal (RFC-2445) fields. 2. Probably utilizing either vpim (vpim.rubyforge.net), or iCalendar (icalendar.rubyforge.net). (First choice would be vpim since some attendee functionality requires vcard

John, you've hit the nail on the head here. I finally know I can manually change my files to the .txt extension (thanks to helpful suggestions here), but it would be excellent if MMD Composer: a) had an option in the drop-down to save with the .txt extension, and b) had a preference the user could set to choose the default file extension for all files. It would increase ease of

Hi everyone, I''m writing a lightweight AJAX application using Rails on the server side as a RESTful web service provider. I need the web service to support both JSON and XML I/O. Outputting data in XML and JSON is easy (using to_xml and to_json), and it''s also easy to do XML input as Rails does it for you automatically. Is it possible to somehow have the same automatic parsing

...bject to change. I would suggest continuing to target finished standards, and if you really care, remove the rel and rev attributes which will validate in both HTML4 and HTML5, but will result in fewer semantics (something the HTML5 people don't seem to care too much about anyway).

I am glad to see support for footnotes working its way into other implementations of Markdown! However, I have a couple of issues. Issue # 1. There appears to be a bug in the footnote parser that causes material following the footnote to be included as part of the footnote. For example: < Example Section > ## Metadata ## First, take a look at the overall structure of the document.

Hi, I was trying to use the geocoding stuff in Mapstraction and found a bug with IE6. I couldn''t find a way of submitting it on Trac, so here it is. Change line 110 of mapstraction-geocode.js from: place = response.Placemark[0]; to: var place = response.Placemark[0]; Otherwise IE6 doesn''t declare the variable properly and things break in obscure ways. Cheers, Tom

Hi, As part of a other application we need a tagging component. However instead of just duplicating the ''known'' social bookmarking tool we want to extend the way people tag there pages. Let me explain by giving you an example: "When I like a book on Amazon, and I tag the link, I want the application to ''fetch'' as much information as the Amazon (or

I had to make a sort of slideshow for a site I''m working on, and I was thinking of making it into a Scriptaculous object. Anyone think of reasons why I shouldn''t? You''d have to pass in all the image urls and a div id, with an optional delay parameter to determine how long to leave each image up before moving on. I could also have a ''randomize''

Hi! Aaf trunk has undergone several major refactorings the last days, with the result that you can now transparently switch your app from local to remote indexing and back :-) If you plan to scale your app to more than one physical machine, or if you have problems with corrupted indexes and the like under high load, you really should give this a try. I wrote some documentation to get you

So, hi all. First time commenting on the list. I personally think having tags (whether of type "author:" or type "by") is useful for two reasons. One: It allows multiple tags to be entered. Two, it clears up the potential problem listed by Fletcher regarding tags. by Christoph Freitag Affiliation: XYZ by Fletcher T. Penney Affiliation: ABC tags: Markdown, Standardization,

Hi all, I'm a newer user of markdown & MultiMarkdown, and I'm looking for the perfect setup of software for my Mac and my Android phone. I'd like to have my drafts editable from both. What I want is an attractive Mac app for writing (primarily blog posts and emails) that saves its files as .txt . Most of them save as .md or .markdown instead, and since there doesn't seem to
