similar to: RFC: Lazy syntax for paragraphs, blockquotes and lists

I'm using the PHP port of Markdown, but I noticed the same effect on your dingus <http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/dingus> The problem I'm seeing is when I have an bulleted list and the last item of the list contains a block quote. The blockquote does not terminate correctly, and adding another blockquote after the list ends up extending the original blockquote.

According to John Gruber's syntax page http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax#blockquote it is possible to nest a code block in a blockquote. But Markdown.pl 1.0.1 shows some strange behavior in this respect. Let me take the following text example (I use `***BEGIN**` and `***END***` as delimiters for the examples): ***BEGIN*** This is a block of code in a blockquote: >

Howdy, [Please preserve the CC to 424919-forwarded at bugs.debian.org on any replies.] The following bug in Markdown was reported to the Debian bug tracking system. In short, running both the released version of Markdown and the latest beta on * foo > bar > baz produces invalid HTML. ----- Forwarded message from Joey Hess <joeyh at debian.org> ----- From: Joey Hess <joeyh

I ran into a weird problem while writing my own little guide to Markdown (using Markdown, of course). The document is mostly made of list items in nested ul's. As I neared the end, I found (via MarsEdit's preview) that in place of two sections of content, Markdown had begun to generate gibberish strings like this: aa9ca05a7c006bc5e5c091c00aee0cd7 After weeding through different

Hello everyone. It seems that I can post to the list now. Great. [1] I'm new to this list, and I've subscribed to discuss a design matter. Indeed, I'm currently writing a WebDev Toolkit in PHP for making the creations of simple websites and web applications quicker and easier (I'm fully aware that this kind of thing already exist, let's just say I'd doing it my way,

Hello everyone on the list, I?m borrowing a bit of your time in order to present a little CSS experiment I?ve been working on: a stylesheet which gives a Markdown-like aspect to HTML elements, especially those elements that the Markdown syntax generates in the first place. This means > signs for blockquotes, # signs or underlines for titles, etc. I wrote a mini-website for it:

Text: > number 1 > > letter B > last one Markdown output: <blockquote> <p>number 1</p> <p>letter B</p> <p>last one</p> </blockquote> Is this the intended behavior? I think there should be two separate block quote tags like this: <blockquote> <p>number 1</p> <p>letter B</p>

Howdy, I've been thinking a lot about definition list syntax, and what I did and didn't like about the PHP Markdown Extra syntax (which seems to be a de-facto standard, discount notwithstanding, yes?). What I came up with is a single character change to the PHP Markdown Extra syntax. I just published a detailed explanation of my thoughts and reasoning for this on [my

Along with the new release of PHP Markdown 1.0.2b7 comes this new version of PHP Markdown Extra. It contains every improvements of PHP Markdown 1.0.2b7 plus some new fixes and two new features. You can download it here: <http://www.michelf.com/docs/projets/php-markdown-extra-1.1b1.zip> and you can test it on the PHP Markdown Dingus (select PHP Markdown Extra):

john said: > Have you considered using a PEG instead of regexes? for all you home-schooled and self-taught programmers for whom "peg" is far too computer-sciencey for comfort, consider as an alternative the simple methodology i use... i split the text-file on blank lines and place it in an array. that is first-cut for my light-markup format, a.k.a., "zml" -- zen

I have a doubt about the standard syntax (actually, it's the only test that maruku doesn't pass yet). Lists MUST be preceded by an empty line? So the following are only 4 paragraphs, without list items, right? ----------- Paragraph and no space: * ciao Paragraph and 1 space: * ciao Paragraph and 3 spaces: * ciao Paragraph and 4 spaces: * ciao ----------- In other words, a

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 >

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

A lot of people have expressed interest in combining math features with Markdown, but I am not aware of any real developments from these requests. I was looking around and toying with [ASCIIMathPHP](http:// www.jcphysics.com/ASCIIMath/) and integrated it with MultiMarkdown and my xhtml2latex XSLT transforms. You can include math as an inline formula by using a markup similar to inline

Okay, it's pretty alpha, but it is a start. I have published "Markdown," which is a recipe that helps integrate Markdown syntax with PmWiki.[1] My goal is that, when finished, there will be something pretty close to a PHP-based wiki that relies on Markdown syntax. I have been involved with PmWiki for a couple years now. It has matured into a very potent, customizeable wiki engine.

let's talk about writing tools that use markdown (or more broadly, another form of light-markup)... to begin with, there is the markdown "dingus"... from a demo perspective, it has been _fantastic_. it has provided interested observers a quick idea about the simplicity and the power of markdown. as a writing tool, it's a bit clunky; it will work, yes, but i'd doubt many

Entering a comment in WordPress, one of my users stumbled upon an interesting problem with PHP Markdown: 1. You write a numbered paragraph. You write a second, unnumbered paragraph to elaborate. 1. You another numbered paragraph, and the numbering resets to 1, even if you number the paragraph 2. I understand what's going on here, with PHP Markdown interpreting each of the two numbers as

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
