Markdowners, just a short heads-up to a newly released Markdown implementation: "pegdown" (http://github.com/sirthias/pegdown) implements a Java Markdown-to-HTML processor based on a PEG parser with the grammar being based on John MacFarlanes C implementation "peg-markdown". pegdown uses "parboiled" (http://www.parboiled.org) for the actual parsing work and, a...

I have taken John MacFarlane's excellent peg-markdown compiler and modified its parser to function as an interpreter for syntax highlighting purposes. The end result is a

...it would be nice just as a cross-platform fallback for where PDFs are not supported). I've also spent several hours searching for tools or libraries that do all of this out of the box and found nothing (which leads me to believe it doesn't exist). My current approach is likely to be taking Pegdown (a java markdown library) and writing new renderers (it exposes the AST directly), but that's obviously a substantial amount of work. I'd be grateful for any pointers people have as alternatives, or perhaps someone knows of a tool? Oh and I know this is the markdown list, but if the above...
