similar to: Code blocks in blockquotes

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.

Hi everybody, it was requested that kramdown (a Markdown parser in Ruby, see <http://kramdown.rubyforge.org>) supports the lazy syntax of Markdown. So I sat down, thought about it, skimmed through the Markdown ML on issues regarding lazy indentation as done with Markdown and now I have some rough idea on how to do this in kramdown. First: I'd like to say that there is no way to satisfy

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

Hello, I'm trying to render the following page in markdown: http://lua-users.org/wiki/RiciLake This page was converted into markdown using Aaron Swartz's html2text [1]. And then rendered to HTML using Niklas Frykholm's markdown.lua [2]. Everything works quite nicely... except that under 'Lua Enhancements'... the very first header is not rendered as a header, but as

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

Dear Markdown enthusiasts out there! Sure, I don't need to tell you how great an versatile Markdown is for writing standard documents. I think, that it would make a really great universal standard as a programming documentation language, too, and maybe "CodeDown" would be a good title for this approach. The idea started when I was trying to document some PHP scripts. I need to

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.

As many of you know, when a piece of open-source software languishes with bugs for 3 years it's often forked Markdown.pl is licensed under the BSD license. (do `>tail -35 /path/to/Markdown.pl`) Has anyone thought of forking and maintaining Markdown.pl (hopefully with Gruber's blessing) to fix some of the known bugs? I'm not volunteering (I'd be horrible)... just seeing if

I noticed the markdown used for http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/had this: Discussion List <a id="discussion-list" /> --------------- It seems to be a way to associate id's or classes with markdown elements. Is this a standard "best practices"? I've gone a different direction in my use of MD. I have a trivial jQuery stunt that looks for

Hello! Is there a simpler, better designed guide to Markdown than http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/ that I can refer my forum users to? Something Googleish-looking. Or do forum owners usually end up having to write their own guides? Thank you! Mikkel -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

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 >

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 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:

So, this is my first post, greeting, yada, yada. By way of background, I'm a law student/former DC IT consultant and soon-to-return to the IT field. Don't ask me why I went to law school, I have forgotten--and I am not certain it was a good choice. I ran across Markdown only recently, although I have always favored ASCII as the impervious format. I'm also polishing my Python skills,

Hi. Is it just me or is there an elephant in here? </tongue-in-cheek> The official Markdown homepage (http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown) offers the 18-month-old version 1.0.1 as a download, and the Dingus page purports to be run on a version 1.0.2b6 - which seems to offer pretty much the same functionality as the old 1.0.1 version. My question is: Is there any active development

True, this is no prose, and true too there is no code yet, but I appreciate the effort, as someone who tries to get a herd of writers with some tabular data to include the data in the text. The alternative being, in fact, as heavy as implementing a database repository for the tables and including ugly imports in the markdown text. For now, I am using Michel Frotin's PHP Markdown Extra, which

Has anyone considered using Markdown.pl or PHPME as an Apache handler for Markdown files? It would be very slick to post straight .text files and have them rendered behind the scenes, although for high traffic sites pre-rendering would obviously be much more efficient. I suppose I'd also want an escape hatch like daringfireball.net's, perhaps disabling rendering if the URL includes

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
