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

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

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

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.

Hi! I am the author of Maruku (http://maruku.rubyforge.org/), a Markdown-superset interpreter. At the moment I am 1) learning webgen 2) integrating Maruku+webgen 3) converting my website to webgen, so I have many questions (one question, one message). First one: I wrote the straightforward maruku.rb converter (see attachment). In a content converter, how can I access the meta-information of

Hello again! This is the revised revised revised proposal: http://maruku.rubyforge.org/proposal.md http://maruku.rubyforge.org/proposal.html http://maruku.rubyforge.org/proposal.pdf The main change was to use an opening string of brace+colon "{:" to not lock-up the precious "{" forever, so that in the future one could think of using the braces also for other purposes.

I see that the well-defined order for transforming a page to HTML is: - Transform the content using the content converter ... - Replace tags I think it should be the other way around. I wrote this plugin that transform {flickr: <url of the photo>} into something like: <div> Foto, caption, etc. </div> Now, because of the order of transformations, the

Two questions about tags: 1) How can I disable tags execution? In my webpage I use a lot of "{" "}" (LaTeX / Bibtex); also Maruku uses the brackets for uses; plus, I don''t need tags. 2) Is it possible to change the magic characters "{" and "}"? Ok, not really a question -- the answer is no, I looked at the source code. If it was possible to

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):

Hi, I'm in the process of adding support for Markdown to a minimal CMS in Rails, [Railfrog][railfrog], which uses mime types to select appropriate processing. I have had a look through the archives but have not been able to see that a consensus has emerged as to what such a mime type for Markdown should look like. My reading of the RFCs suggests that it should be within the "text/*"

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

(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 have written my own implementation of markdown in Scala. I only later realized there is already one ( <http://tristanhunt.com/projects/knockoff/> ), but I put quite some work into mine and I think it is never bad to have alternatives, so I wanted to release it anyway. I want to use the same BSD License as the original markdown, but before I put it out into the wild I wanted to ask

I also agree that single bracket reference-style syntax is not prudent. As Jacob suggested, it creates ambiguity for the reader (Is it an edit or a link?). It also creates a new problem of potential conflict, however rare that may be. It seems reasonable to prefix a marker colon (possibly followed by whitespace): [:ref link] or [: ref link] And perhaps the same for attributes: {:att ref} or {:

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

So here's an interesting bug I just discovered: [Like this][d]: [here][h]. [d]: foo [h]: bar The output here should be: <a href="foo">Like this</a>: <a href="bar">here</a>. But instead the output is completely empty. I see this bug in both Markdown.pl and PHP Markdown. The problem is that all three lines are being

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

Does anyone know which version of Markdown is best for Wordpress? I see online that there are a few and was wondering which one people prefer. Also, is there any chance John Gruber will write an official Markdown plugin for Wordpress, given how popular it's becoming? -------------------------------------------------------- robdumas at gmail.com http://obnoxio.us/
