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

Hey everyone. Just and FYI that I started a list of markdown implementations: https://github.com/markdown/markdown.github.com/wiki/Implementations Please review and make any corrections/additions. The page should be publicly editable as long as you have a github account. Note that this is a list of _libraries_, which differentiates it from wikipedia's list [1]. For example, mmd2pdf is a

For those of you who are expert you may chuckle over this. Perhaps if it's in the record, however, it may help someone else. I was getting cases of <div id="content"> standing on a line by itself, getting converted to this: <p><div id="content"></p> Yes, the line above and below are blank. Yes the div tag is starting at the first column It

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?

It took much more time than I expected, and it is currently less complete than I have hoped, but I've finaly made a first draft of the Markdown Extra spec. You can find it at <http://michelf.com/specs/markdown-extra/ > Currently, the specification defines its goals and a document model for Markdown Extra. It lacks the most important part though: the parsing section, which

I quite often find myself making documents that pull together other fragmentary documents. Does anyone have suggestions for an include or embed syntax? I.e. a way of saying "pull in the contents of document X here". Has this been implemented before? Such a syntax might be: (embed: snippet.txt) or [include](snippet.txt) Your thoughts? Best regards, - Daniel

One of the things I'm coming up against. Maintaining a non-small web site with many internal links is a pain. Consider: Suppose that at one point I have site/ Images Business Home ... Later the site gets more complex, and Images has a bunch of sub directories. site/ Images header_rotate inventory_pix misc Business Home When this happens I have to

ok, i waited for 2 weeks, and still no votes -- none! -- on whether my posts are sufficiently on-topic, or not... and that basically confirms what i suspected all along, which is that no one really cares one way or the other. even the guys who put up the bitchy posts are probably just having a bad day, and they don't have a dog to kick, and the wife made 'em stop smoking herb, so they

Hello List, Firstly, I was very impressed when I tried markdown 2.0 recently. Fantastic work all! I have a query about the treatment of emphasis. I realise that the horse has bolted, and changes to currently supported functionality are unlikely to attract support. However, there does seem (at least in my tiny mind) to be a mis-match between the following stated goal and the present

Not only is [Markdown] dead, it's starting to smell really bad. (Apologies to Pike.) It's author appears to have little interest in developing the tool and participating in the community which uses it. I'd like to see the community cooperate toward a specification which addresses the shortcomings and ambiguities of Markdown (even if it need be released under a new name).

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

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

I am glad to see support for footnotes working its way into other implementations of Markdown! However, I have a couple of issues. Issue # 1. There appears to be a bug in the footnote parser that causes material following the footnote to be included as part of the footnote. For example: < Example Section > ## Metadata ## First, take a look at the overall structure of the document.

So, hi all. First time commenting on the list. I personally think having tags (whether of type "author:" or type "by") is useful for two reasons. One: It allows multiple tags to be entered. Two, it clears up the potential problem listed by Fletcher regarding tags. by Christoph Freitag Affiliation: XYZ by Fletcher T. Penney Affiliation: ABC tags: Markdown, Standardization,

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 all, I'm a newer user of markdown & MultiMarkdown, and I'm looking for the perfect setup of software for my Mac and my Android phone. I'd like to have my drafts editable from both. What I want is an attractive Mac app for writing (primarily blog posts and emails) that saves its files as .txt . Most of them save as .md or .markdown instead, and since there doesn't seem to
