John MacFarlane, the author of Pandoc, has been working on a project ( http://commonmark.org/) to define a standard reference for Markdown*. There are already two reference implementations, one in javascript, the other in C: https://github.com/jgm/cmark Regards, baptiste * There was some initial controversy with the original author of markdown, but in the long term it's probably one of the

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

Has anyone seen any attempts to give Markdown a PEG (parsing expressions grammar) recognizable by some ruby PEG parser generator grammar like Treetop? http://treetop.rubyforge.org/

RStudio is just displaying HTML whenever it shows you anything in the Help pane. or being about to run something like show_news(?packagename?).

I've just released an early version of a Markdown implementation in Haskell (using the Parsec parser combinator library). pandoc converts Markdown to HTML, LaTeX, reStructuredText, rich text format, and S5 HTML slide shows. It partially converts HTML, LaTeX, and reStructuredText to Markdown. It also makes it easy to include LaTeX math on HTML pages, using Peter Jipsen's ASCIIMathML.js.

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

Esteemed human authors and robotic parse-bots: I recently discovered that most or all Markdown implementations, including Gruber?s original in Perl, have an odd behavior with regards to lists that follow each other. Namely, a bulleted list followed by a numbered list, or vice-versa, is masked as if it were part of the first list (and of the first list?s type.) For example, consider the following

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

Does anyone know of a Markdown to LaTeX converter? I guess I could use HTML-Latex perl module. But Markdown direct to LaTex might be better. Or maybe I will adjust your Markdown.pm to do LaTeX output. Thanks

The html document various characters like ? \xa0 ? \xa9 (Copyright symbol) (and others). I tried using html2text.py but it didn't like these characters. Any ideas on how I can use iconv or another tool to convert documents like this so I can then convert to Markdown? I don't want to do manually as I have around 500+ documents. Jeremy C. Reed

There's been a lot of discussion on this list about creating a formal grammar for markdown. I had a go at writing a [parsing expression grammar] for markdown. I used Haskell and John Meacham's Frisby PEG parsing library, but it should not be too hard to port the grammar to PEG libraries in other languages. [parsing expression grammar]:

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.

S5 - http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/s5/ - is an html-based slide-show system. It produces professional-looking slideshows from text with a little xml markup. Has anyone tried using Markdown to generate S5 slide-shows? I think this would be a pretty neat system. I'm thinking a level-1 header could be the slideshow title, and level-2 headers could define individual slides. Any thoughts? - Dan

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

Am I the only person who uses Markdown somewhat intensively and uses the Vim editor? I'm surprised that-- unless I'm missing it-- there is only one markdown "mode" for vim, and it is broken in all sorts of ways (most seriously, anything in square brackets other than a link breaks the syntax highlighting in a bad way, and it can't handle "text_like this text").

Hola, ¿qué tal? Estoy haciendo un informe con R, knitr, y markdown y no sé cómo podría añadirle una tabla de contenidos. O mejorar el aspecto del fichero final en html. ¿Algún consejo? Gracias.

Thanks Brian. Indeed, the vignette is in markdown form. When I updated my system to R 3.1.3 I ran update.packages() and this seems to have upset things (including R-studio processing of markdown files). I tried removing rmarkdown and reverting to an older version so that my sessionInfo() is Loading required package: rmarkdown > sessionInfo() R version 3.1.3 (2015-03-09) Platform:
