Dear Folks, I am just starting out with Markdown and am trying to get two elements working: (1) An inline HTML link; and (2) An inline mailto: link as shown in the text below: We invite you to [browse] (http://academy.swanlotus.com/index.html) this website. Take a look and see if you find anything useful. And do [drop us a line] (mailto:feedback at swanlotus.com) with your comments for

Hi, I have written my own implementation of markdown in Scala. I only later realized there is already one ( <http://tristanhunt.com/projects/knockoff/> ), but I put quite some work into mine and I think it is never bad to have alternatives, so I wanted to release it anyway. I want to use the same BSD License as the original markdown, but before I put it out into the wild I wanted to ask

How can we improve URL detection in Markdown? I posted a question on Stack Overflow and happened to click a URL in my post. To my surprise, it wasn't functional, and it took three different, nonintuitive manipulations before I achieved a functional URL. Stack Overflow says "not my problem", so I'm deferring to Markdown itself. Here's a

spring has sprung, so on this day of grass, i guess i just can't hold this back any more. > http://zenmagiclove.com/aarp2.py voila. a dingus for zen markup language. lighter than markdown. _and_ more powerful... i know. wha? go figure. not that it's a competition. supporters will love finally seeing a look. detractors will love the bugs i left in there, just for them, as

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

Hello, I have just subscribed to this list. I will introduce myself: For some time, I have kept a markdown implementation in awk for personal use, different from other implementations. Now, I'm in the process of rewriting it and I'm trying to do it as compatible as possible. There are many questions I have, I know some test suites and am trying to pass those tests. When I don't know

Hello everybody, I've just noticed that markdown doesn't always generate XHTML. In particular the input <script src="http://evilserver.net/evil.js"> generates the output: <p><script src="http://evilserver.net/evil.js"></p> (This is the markdown dingus at daring fireball, and the markdownj implementation exhibits the same problem. I

Hello, Given the following text: under a license from AT&T; however, others were based on BSD instead. Daring Fireball's Markdown Dingus produces: <p>under a license from AT&T; however, others were based on BSD instead.</p> Note how the '&' is not escaped to '&amp;'. Bug? Feature? Thanks in advance. Kind regards, PA.

I'm currently attempting to write a spec for parsing Markdown Extra, and since one goal is to minimize the differences in output between implementations, I've made a tool allowing me to compare who does what for any given input. I hope this can also facilitate future discussions about the syntax. So here's Babelmark, a testbed for various Markdown implementations were you

I just realised I hadn't updated the version of PHP Markdown and Extra on the dingus as I pretended I did in my two announcements. It is now fixed: PHP Markdown 1.0.2b7 and PHP Markdown Extra 1.1b1 can now be tested on the dingus. <http://www.michelf.com/projects/php-markdown/dingus/> Sorry for any inconvenience.

Hi John, there?s a bug in Markdown.pl: [foo*bar](#) [baz*quux](#) This expands to the following: <p><a href="#">foo<em>bar</a> <a href="#">baz</em>quux</a></p> Those `*` should either be disregarded or the tags should nest correctly: 1. <p><a href="#">foo*bar</a> <a

Markdown is a fantastic program (which I am sure you already know). It saves me a lot of time. Currently, I use the dingus located at: http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/dingus However, I am trying to set one up just like that, locally - on my own system, without having to use that one (wasting the bandwidth, and having to switch to the site every time to use it). I am running Ubuntu.

i've released the first beta of my e-book converter-tool. you are invited to throw stones at it (and at me) if you like: > http://jaguarps.com "beta" is a compromise. i developed it on a mac, so that particular version is solid. but "alpha" would be a better label for the status of the windows and linux versions, so if you have one of _those_ machines, and you

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.

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>

New to mailing lists and Markup as well so please bear with me. I have been looking for two things. A project management system that syncs with Notational Velocity as well as something that lets me write and format script in plain text, then have that converted to the proper formatting for a script. I was wondering would Markdown have the ability to do this or have the changes necessary for this?

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

This does not produce the expected output, yet does work on the dingus [1]: * asdf * asdf >> require ''maruku'' => true >> doc = Maruku.new("* asdf\n * asdf\n") => md_el(:document,[ md_el(:ul,[md_el(:li_span,["asdf * asdf"],{:want_my_paragraph=>false},[])],{},[]) ],{},[]) >> doc.to_html => "<ul>\n<li>asdf *

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
