(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

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

Noticed the patterns for setext style headings are: ^(.+)[ \t]*\n=+[ \t]*\n+ Should be: ^(.+?)[ \t]*\n=+[ \t]*\n+

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 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

> [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

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

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 want to create a tag processor that is activated by something like: {flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/censi/232006603/} (it then downloads from flickr the description of the photo -- look for example at http://www.dis.uniroma1.it/~acensi/category/sss06.html) This is my flickr.rb: load_plugin ''webgen/plugins/tags/tag_processor'' module Tags class FlickrTag <

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

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.

I've written a bookmarklet, Make.text, for turning a web page into Markdown syntax. It works in Firefox 1.5 (Linux and Mac), Safari 2 (Mac), Konqueror 3.5 (Linux), and Opera 9 (Linux and Mac). It does not work in Internet Explorer (and I don?t have a Windows machine to debug it on). You can get it here: http://homepage.mac.com/tjim/ -Trevor

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

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/*"

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 find the file metaconfig.yaml very useful and I use it for setting the title and order of files. However, I can''t find a way to change the order of a directory. Consider the file layout: index.page dir/sub1.page I want to choose whether the order in the menu is [index,dir] or [dir, index]. I tried with: dir/: orderInfo: 1 or dir: orderInfo: 1
