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'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

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

Hello, How to correctly made multiline code block within a list, like.. * foo * bar * ``` Code 1 Code 2 Code 3 ``` * Another list item The above markup is not working, what I want is Code 1, Code 2 and Code 3 appear in different lines. Thanks.

http://babelmark.bobtfish.net/?markdown=%3Ca%2Bb%40c.org%3E&normalize=on Only Python markdown, Pandoc, discount and PEG markdown seem to get this 'right'. As a + is perfectly valid in email addresses, I'm going to fix this in my modules. This was reported to me via the cpan.org RT (37909), and I thought I'd share as it's a good one in Babelmark. Cheers Tom

I've just uploaded an implementation of markdown in C. It defines the syntax using a PEG grammar, so it should be easy to extend and modify. Right now it can produce output in either HTML or LaTeX, but it would be simple to add other output formats. It's very fast: on my machine, it converts a 178K markdown file in 0.14 seconds (vs. 9.6 seconds for the latest Markdown.pl and 0.57 seconds

Hi, I am generating a nice document with some inline code blocks and came around the following error: 1. asdf - \` asdf `` `asdf` `` produces: <ol> <li>asdf <ul><li>` asdf <code><code>asdf</code></code> </li></ul></li> </ol> instead of: <ol> <li>asdf <ul><li>` asdf

Hi there! (1.) It may sound awkward, but I would like to use comments in Markdown texts. According to the rule that proper HTML works as HTML, I should be able to use <!-- blablabla --> But the converters I use do strange things with comments. Is there an official rule about that? (2.) I wonder if there is a recommended standard file extension for Markdown source files. For my

Hi, I've built a quick-and-dirty diff GUI for Babelmark (thanks, Michel!). You can get it as a bookmarklet here: http://attacklab.net/babelmark/ If either Michel or Tom is interested in hosting this, I'll be happy to do the grunt work for a real integration. It's kind of pain in the ass to hit the bookmarklet every time you get new data from the server. I've tested this

I have a line that includes a double quotation mark followed by 5 spaces, and then some text, like so: " global" when it is converted with markdown, the spaces disappear, so it results in "global" Is there a way to keep these spaces in there? Thanks for any help. Rick -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

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

Hi, This might be related to the bug reported earlier about parsing URLs with parens, but the following looks like a bug to me: [ZIP archives](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZIP_(file_format) "ZIP (file format) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia") gets rendered by Markdown 1.01 as: <p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZIP_(file_format">ZIP

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

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

We recently received a request and working patch for Python-Markdown which adds support for starting an ordered list with the number given on the first line. For example: 3. Foo 4. Bar would result in <ol> <li start="3">Foo</li> <li>Bar</li> </ol> I'm not opposed to adding this, but I noticed that no other implementation

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
