similar to: Showdown -- A javascript port of Markdown

Before I start writing an HTML parser for Showdown, I want to see if there's a safe way to have Markdown process the contents of HTML block elements by default. I don't think markdown="1" is an official part of the language yet, so this seems like a good time to talk about it. Being able to wrap Markdown text in divs and spans would make it possible to add more structure to

Hi, I recently released WMD, a WYSIWYG-style Markdown editor in JavaScript: http://wmd-editor.com/ The idea is to make Markdown more accessible to first-time users. The editor buttons generate the Markdown for you, and a live preview shows the results as you type. Site authors can have the output submitted in either Markdown or HTML. WMD works in modern versions of IE, Firefox, Safari,

I've been using the John Fraser's Showdown JavaScript port of Markdown to do real-time previews in-browser. But I also would like to take advantage of some of the extensions in Michel Fortin's PHP Markdown Extra. Has anyone already tried to implement Markdown Extra in JavaScript? Thanks, Keith

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

Hello to all! Maruku is a Markdown interpreter written in Ruby. It is released under the GPL. Maruku implements the original Markdown syntax and all the improvements in PHP Markdown Extra. Moreover, it implements some ideas from MultiMarkdown, and adds a syntax for specifying metadata for block elements. Unlike Bluecloth, Maruku creates an in-memory representation of the document tree, and this

(In the following I write <tab> because my MUA strips tabs) Consider the code: ---- Paragraph <tab> <tab> Line <tab> ---- or even: ---- Paragraph <tab><space> <tab> Line <tab> ---- Markdown.pl ignores the leading blank line in the code block. Is this intended behaviour? -- Andrea Censi "Life is too important to be taken

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'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

The following benchmarks have been obtained using the TextMate manual as the input source: <http://macromates.com/textmate/manual/source.tbz> Using PHP Markdown, parsing the 24 files separately (with the reference file appended to each of them), I get this (on an iBook G4 1.2 Ghz): Total Avg. Min. Q1. Med. Q3. Max. Parse Time (ms):

I want to use fixed font like a code block but also use italics and bold at same time. For example in HTML: <tt>$ <b>mail -u <i>user</i></b></tt> What is the best way to do this in markdown, especially if I have several lines of content that needs to be spaced out correctly? Thanks Jeremy C. Reed

I am doing unit-tests for Maruku and every once in a while I run into some doubts. I am posting a lot to the list, but all of these messages should be in-topic (tell me if not). Consider the input: --- `There is a literal backtick (\`) here.` `There is a literal backtick (\\`) here.` ``There is a literal backtick (`) here.`` --- The documentation says that line 2 and 3 are equivalent.

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

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

First we consider two lists with different type: - foo - bar 1. first 1. second There are two interceptions: a. one unordered list b. one unordered list followed by one ordered list Implementations conforming to a: - Markdown.pl - Python Markdown - BlueCloth - MarkdownJ - markdown.lua, - Showdown Implementations conforming to b: - PHP Markdown - Text::Markdown - Maruku - Pandoc - Discount

I have a doubt about the standard syntax (actually, it's the only test that maruku doesn't pass yet). Lists MUST be preceded by an empty line? So the following are only 4 paragraphs, without list items, right? ----------- Paragraph and no space: * ciao Paragraph and 1 space: * ciao Paragraph and 3 spaces: * ciao Paragraph and 4 spaces: * ciao ----------- In other words, a

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

> [John Fraser:] Being able to wrap Markdown text in divs and spans ... I find div and span tags quite useful. Here is an example of the syntax I'm presently using. [[ {#orchard} Contents of div here. And ~this{.plum}~ is how I do spans. ]] becomes <div id="orchard"> <p>Contents of div here. And <span class="plum">this</span> is how I do

Hello to all! This is the revised 2005 proposal for meta-data, much more in detail: http://maruku.rubyforge.org/proposal.md http://maruku.rubyforge.org/proposal.html http://maruku.rubyforge.org/proposal.pdf I wait for comments. At the end of the document, there are some open issues. And I need a regexp wizard to look over the "grammar" section. Cheers, -- Andrea Censi
