i am considering writing converters between my "zen markup language' and "markdown", but i don't know which version of markdown to target. i'd think it'd be the "pandoc" version, and i understand that to be closest to "multimarkdown", but gruber has said he "disagrees" with "almost every part" of multimarkdown's syntax

hello, i am looking for advice regarding the best repo from which to download "markdown" for use on a mac. on my ubuntu machine i just installed some standard markdown package with apt-get. but i have not found anything equivalent for my mac machine. i am looking for a maintained package from a reputable repo site that can be automatically installed and upgraded using the packaging

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

nick said: > http://nickgravgaard.com/elastictabstops/ exactly. thanks for writing it up, nick. the only thing i'd add is the notion that tables should be copyfit to the viewport. if the viewport gives you plenty of room, give the columns some breathing space. if not, tighten them as much as needed. *** > http://readown.googlecode.com/ cool. now how about an

Hi, because of the great editor "Writer" from Information Architects I've learned about Markdown and I love it. But it's very confusing, that there are so many standards with different features: classical Markdown, Markdown Extra, MultiMarkdown. I think for most users and the spreading of Markdown it would be nice, to have only one syntax. And this universal syntax should have

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

like history, the future is decided by the people who write it... > http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2012/10/the-future-of-markdown.html by the way, if you want a form of light-markup which is still flexible enough to be molded, but will be _totally_ free of ambiguities and "edge-cases", and governed by a well-written specification and thorough documentation, along with an

Hi all, I made a new markdown editor for Mac, named Mou - http://mouapp.com It's still in early beta stage. Requires OS X 10.7+ to run. Let me know how do you think about it. :) Kudos to John Gruber who invented Markdown language, as always! :) Best regards, Chen Luo

this is fascinating: > http://daringfireball.net/linked/2011/08/05/markdown-uti i don't know (and don't care about) any possible significance of such a pronouncement on a "uniform type indicator", but i think that it's interesting that gruber has decided to make _any_ type of statement on markdown, with the big moves now underfoot, and doubly so when he chooses to

brett terpstra continues his obsession with markdown... > http://fuckyeahmarkdown.com/ there's also a g-rated version: > http://heckyesmarkdown.com/ brett has accomplished more in the last three months than this listserve accomplished in the last three years. and it looks like he's only just getting started... meanwhile, fletcher is about to send off his rocket, which

a specification will _eventually_ be used, by someone, to tell the user they are doing things "wrong", won't it? and doesn't that turn markdown's genesis upside-down? heck, next thing you know we'll be telling them to r.t.f.m. i would prefer that implementers get more sophisticated about teasing out the user's intent in "ambiguous" cases. of course,

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

so much for the markdown listserve grapevine... it ends up that there has been a markdown-savvy display-in-real-time app for a couple months now, by the name of "macchiato", coded by a college kid. > http://getmacchiato.com > http://kswizz.com/post/8624456381/macchiato > http://mac.onedayoneapp.com/macchiato/ > http://shawnblanc.net/2011/08/macchiato/ >

where are the worthwhile markdown dingi? (dinguses?) i'm interested in any dingus that can take a "reasonable" amount of text -- let's say anything up to a megabyte -- and return the results in real-time, without a long wait... ideally it'd handle something more than gruber-minimum, and an a.p.i. (that'd take a u.r.i. as input) would be dandy... bonus points for

I am using indefero,and its wiki use markdown as wiki syntax,and I found that markdown do not support Strikethrough ? Thanks!

My stackoverflow question here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9222990/is-there-an-official-organization-for-discussing-or-releasing-standard-markdown. And github issue here: https://github.com/michelf/php-markdown/issues/27. So, if there were somebody hold that, the markdown world would be much better than ever! If held, the ORG need a concil to discuss standard, and a website to publish
