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

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

Hi list! Take this markdown input: * asdf * asdf * asdf asdf What I want: <ul> <li>asdf <ul> <li>asdf</li> <li>asdf</li> </ul> <p>asdf</p></li> </ul> But markdown puts the first asdf into a paragraph. There is nothing I can do

When I try to use the code block syntax in a list, i.e : 1. some text 2. some code : My first line of code The second one Some indented code Another line 3. end of the list it doesn't work. Yet it appears that the syntax is valid (I checked on the w3 validator). I would need that functionality. Would it be possible to improve the markdown parser by adding it ?

I need to exclude arbitrary chunks of my documents from Markdown parsing, because my documents are littered with <?php blah blah ?>, and a few other oddities. These blocks get gifted with unwanted markup by Markdown: <?php blah blah ?> becomes <p><?php blah blah ?></p> If I can't make it stop that, it's a dealbreaker for me in an otherwise

Hi, Is markdown a good language to use in a web forum application? How does it compare to bbcode in features and ease-of-use for non-technical users? I'm thinking of using jquery-markedit in that forum app. Thanks, -- http://www.cruisefish.net

Hi, I'm using perl's HTML::StripScripts to clean out unwanted/broken html from forum post on my web site but it also removes <http://example.com> or <user at example.com> markdown constructs. Any idea how to make these two live together in harmony? Thanks, -- http://www.cruisefish.net

Python-markdown currently replaces all straight quotes (`"`) with the html entity (`&quot;`). Someone recently complained about this in a [bug report][]. As it turns out the quote was the symptom that brought the real problem to light[^1]. In any event, the reporter pointed out that markdown.pl does not replace straight quotes with the html entity. I know John Gruber has mentioned before

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

Hi I hope I haven't missed anything which answers this question on the syntax page, but what is the correct behaviour of the following markdown random text heading == random text # heading random text + list 1 (note there is not space before the '+') The following page treats the headings differently to the start of the list http://old-wp.slekx.com/the-markdown-tutorial/ That

Hi, I've just posted the first public version of Showdown, a full javascript port of Markdown. It's 10KB and works in all major browsers. Try out the sample app: <http://www.attacklab.net/showdown-gui.html> Full source code is available: <http://www.attacklab.net/showdown-v0.9.zip> All the heavy lifting is done by the browser's regular expression engine, so

I'd love to hear everyone's favorite way to convert markdown to PDF. I'm looking for the easiest, most straightforward option. >From what I've gathered, the method needs to include something like LaTeX in order to have it paginate correctly, so I'll need to install that as well. Is this correct? When I've used the simple export-to-PDF options in Marked, MMD

Hello, As I am using markdown to write documentation, I am often tempted to make links to terms in definition lists. Since this is not possible for now (at least in php markdown extra), I was wondering if this could be a common addition in major implementation supporting definition lists. the syntax would be term {#id} : definition This syntax tries to follows current convention and

This is a new release for PHP Markdown, following Markdown.pl 1.0.2b7 from a few weeks ago. It fix the same bugs, and some more; it also introduce more radical backend changes. It can be downloaded here: <http://www.michelf.com/docs/projets/php-markdown-1.0.2b7.zip> and you can test it on the PHP Markdown Dingus: <http://www.michelf.com/projects/php-markdown/dingus/> This

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

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

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

Hi guys, I wrote a markdown based Web editor thing for my sister: http://ws.dabase.com/ And she has trouble styling blocks of markdown. Since <div markdown=1>markdown here</div> does not work on my Debian markdown binary. Is there a formal definition of markdown? Or some sort of conformance test? And certain markdown implementations I should be using, and certain ones I should be
