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

I'm using Michel Fortin's MDTest cases to rewrite my html2text.php script. Just now I stumbled upon this bug (in PHP Markdown at least): # Input: Backtick: ``\``` # Output: <p>Backtick: ``&#96;``</p> # Should-Be Output: <p>Backtick: <code>`</code></p> If you (Michel) are already aware of this, just ignore me ;-) -- Milian Wolff

Hi there! I recently ported Aaron Swartz' html2text.py to PHP and would like to know what you think about it. Any suggestions and bug reports are much appreciated. Check it out: http://milianw.de/projects/html2text/ Note: Michel Fortins PHP Markdown Extended is supported (that is: tables and definitionlist are supported in some way) There are still some bugs but I hope to sort them out

Is there a file/document browser that render and display Markdown files? (for the Mac) jem

Hello Everyone, Has anyone installed Markdown for Coda, Writeroom, Textwrangler, or OS X? I'm really interested in using this more but I'm interested in finding the best way to use. Biggest win for me would be for it to work from within Writeroom. Textwrangler would be next, followed by OS X, and Coda would be almost useless. I did see that MacPorts has 2 different distros of markdown

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

i'll be doing some experiments myself, but i thought i'd ask here first about back-translation and round-tripping with markdown and its xhtml output. the object is to take markdown output, reduce it back to a markdown text-file, then regenerate the output again and compare it with the "original" output, repeating if necessary until there exists a pair of files that give perfect

Hi folks! I finally released the first Beta of Markdownify - the HTML to Markdown converter for PHP. It is the successor to the old `html2text.php` and is much more stable. It's pretty much a complete rewrite and supports all Markdown and PHP Markdown Extra syntax features. It's beta since I still have to add a word wrapping feature and "Markdown inside block elements" is

>From http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax#html: > Note that Markdown formatting syntax is not processed within block-level > HTML tags. E.g., you can?t use Markdown-style *emphasis* inside an > HTML block. [...] Unlike block-level HTML tags, Markdown syntax is > processed within span-level tags. How do people work around this when they want to apply Markdown to text

Hi, I see no announcement at llvm-announce ML [1] and the main (start) website list v3.5.0 as latest version in the "Download now" link [2]. Following "All Releases" from the main website lists a v3.5.1 in [3]. Can this be fixed? Thanks.

Dear R Community, I recently switched to a Mac (10.6.5), and have installed Textwrangler to run code to R. However, I can't install the syntax highlighting file because I can't find the directory: "~Users/username/Library/Application Support/TextWrangler/Language Modules/". Is there a different location I can place the syntax highlighting file? Scott [[alternative HTML

Hi All, I was wondering what people thought to the idea of getting "[markdown]" added to the subject lines of all the mails to the markdown mailing list? It would certainly help me out with my email organisation. Many thanks CHEERS> SAM

Markdowners, just a short heads-up to a newly released Markdown implementation: "pegdown" (http://github.com/sirthias/pegdown) implements a Java Markdown-to-HTML processor based on a PEG parser with the grammar being based on John MacFarlanes C implementation "peg-markdown". pegdown uses "parboiled" (http://www.parboiled.org) for the actual parsing work and, as

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

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:

Hi, I am trying to get TextWrangler to work with LaTeX and Sweave. Ideally I would call a script from TextWrangler that would run Sweave on a document, then LaTeX (using SyncTeX), and finally open the corresponding pdf in Skim. Of course I don't always need to run Sweave and would be looking for the option of LaTeX -> Open. I found this http://www.xs4all.nl/~msneep/latex/ but it

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

where are the worthwhile markdown dingi? (dinguses?) i'm interested in any dingus that can take a "reasonable" amount of text -- let's say anything up to a megabyte -- and return the results in real-time, without a long wait... ideally it'd handle something more than gruber-minimum, and an a.p.i. (that'd take a u.r.i. as input) would be dandy... bonus points for
