similar to: Maruku: a better Markdown interpreter for Ruby.

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.

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

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

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

(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

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

> [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

This does not produce the expected output, yet does work on the dingus [1]: * asdf * asdf >> require ''maruku'' => true >> doc = Maruku.new("* asdf\n * asdf\n") => md_el(:document,[ md_el(:ul,[md_el(:li_span,["asdf * asdf"],{:want_my_paragraph=>false},[])],{},[]) ],{},[]) >> doc.to_html => "<ul>\n<li>asdf *

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 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.

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

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'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

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/*"

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
