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

What's the difference between: <em>emphasis</em> and <i>italicized</i> and <strong>strong</strong> and <b>bold</b> It seems to subtle for my browsers. The only "difference" I've been able to find is that according to the O'Reilly book <strong> and <emphasis> are semantic tags, while <b> and <i>

I want to use fixed font like a code block but also use italics and bold at same time. For example in HTML: <tt>$ <b>mail -u <i>user</i></b></tt> What is the best way to do this in markdown, especially if I have several lines of content that needs to be spaced out correctly? Thanks Jeremy C. Reed

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

Hi All, So I just joined the list - first off, Markdown is a great format and we're using it in our online community project disCourse: http://discourse.ics.hawaii.edu We're using markdown for our wiki pages, stories, message postings, pretty much everywhere. One markdown policy that doesn't seem to fit intuitively for our users is the fact that embedded underscores leads to

recently though about image captions, then i realized that this could be achiebed by Markdown Extra's definition list feature:  : here goes the *caption* What do you think? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hi eveybody! I've got a suggestion to think about. Although i think that the drawbacks are bigher than the advantages im goong to tell you abou my idea: My idea is another syntax for e m p h a s i z e d words. It uses two spaces before and after the emphasized part and alternating space and letter in between, just like in the sentence before. Pros: ? no symbol needed ? granny compatible

It took much more time than I expected, and it is currently less complete than I have hoped, but I've finaly made a first draft of the Markdown Extra spec. You can find it at <http://michelf.com/specs/markdown-extra/ > Currently, the specification defines its goals and a document model for Markdown Extra. It lacks the most important part though: the parsing section, which

Not only is [Markdown] dead, it's starting to smell really bad. (Apologies to Pike.) It's author appears to have little interest in developing the tool and participating in the community which uses it. I'd like to see the community cooperate toward a specification which addresses the shortcomings and ambiguities of Markdown (even if it need be released under a new name).

Gentlefolk, I have been thinking on Markdown's lack of "proper" table support for a long while now. Here's where I have arrived... ## I Don't Like HTML Tables It is often argued that embedded HTML is the way to markdown rich tables. Unfortunately, this contradicts the higher markdown ideal that a raw markdown document (including tables!) should be good 1. Firstly for

I just received a [bug report] for Python-Markdown complaining that colons are used in the ids of footnotes. For reference, we [output] the same format at PHP Markdown Extra. The general complaint is that the colon in the id attribute (`id="fnref:1"`) causes jquery to choke when referencing that id from javascript because jquery uses colons to indicate pseudo elements (as does CSS). As

I'm curious how people think the following *should* be interpreted: - one 2. two http://babelmark.bobtfish.net/?markdown=-++one%0D%0A2.+two%0D%0A%0D%0A As you can see, implementations split into three groups here: (a) treat as an unordered list Markdown.pl, Python markdown, MultiMarkdown, BlueCloth, MarkdownJ, Showdown (b) treat as an unordered list with an ordered

looks like my message from last week about writing tools was right on time... we are enjoying a display of fireworks now going off in this particular arena... fletcher started work on an editing app with markdown-preview built right in, after reporting on his blog that he had "seen the future" in ali's post last month, where ali debuted his syntax highlighter, and fletcher is

What is the best method to introduce horizontal space in text in a Pandoc document? Preferably something that would work for both HTML and PDF output?

Hi, I'm using the header id extension from markdown extra and in my perception it gets wrong when I use attributes on headers, for instance: >>> md = markdown.Markdown(['extra']) >>> md.convert('# My header {@class=red}') u'<h1 class="red" id="my_header_classred_1">My header </h1>' I would have expected:

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

Hullo, fellow Railsers! (warning: this isn''t a 100% Rails specific question, but I guess it very much applies to what a lot of us are currently doing.) For a project that involves messageboard functionality I''m looking for a good way of sanitizing user input, so the silly fools, err, my wonderful users don''t mess things up too much. I''ve played around with

// hoping this is sufficiently on-topic // php-driven, markdown-aware, open source wiki/cms that has some degree of version control, a flexible system for privs/access control, is installable (or buildable) on OS X and has an easy installer for windows ?

> [John Fraser:] Being able to wrap Markdown text in divs and spans ... I find div and span tags quite useful. Here is an example of the syntax I'm presently using. [[ {#orchard} Contents of div here. And ~this{.plum}~ is how I do spans. ]] becomes <div id="orchard"> <p>Contents of div here. And <span class="plum">this</span> is how I do
