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

It would be useful if defining headers (either Setext and atx style), if Markdown would also generate corresponding anchors: ## This is an H2 ## would create: <a name="This is an H2"/> <h2>This is an H2</h2> Or something like that. Or is that available some different way? Thanks, Jeremy C. Reed

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

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

Seeing how no-one should send application/xhtml+xml to the browser [1], and development of the HTML standard is again happening [2], it would make sense to have Markdown.pl default to HTML tags. Maybe too late to change a default though. How does PHP Markdown and other implementations deal with this issue? [1]: http://www.hixie.ch/advocacy/xhtml [2]:

A user has table-formatted data which contains accents and finds it problematic that his tables misalign after going through Markdown. This is because he made them align using tab characters and Markdown will convert these to spaces even in pre-formatted text and Markdown is not multi-byte aware. This raises two questions: 1. Should Markdown convert tabs to spaces in pre-formated text?

I was recently made aware of the the Markdown 1.0.2 beta 4 and naturally downloaded it in great anticipation, as I am a big fan of Markdown :) Though I did notice a significant performance drop: The TextMate manual is 3,000 lines (173 KB) and previously took 4-5 seconds to convert to HTML (measuring only time spent by `Markdown.pl`.) With the new version this has increased to almost 30

I am fairly new to R so I don;t know much about manipulating it yet. I would like to make some sparklines <http://www.edwardtufte.com/ bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=0001OR&topic_id=1> using R. I have th pre-compiled R for MacOS on intel. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Robert

One of the things I'm coming up against. Maintaining a non-small web site with many internal links is a pain. Consider: Suppose that at one point I have site/ Images Business Home ... Later the site gets more complex, and Images has a bunch of sub directories. site/ Images header_rotate inventory_pix misc Business Home When this happens I have to

I recently subscribed and saw in the archive that Eric Astor was asking for a formal grammar (unlikely the first time for such request.) Currently there are a few problems in making such a thing so I was curious if Mr. Gruber has made any thoughts about moving toward one? This would also allow a more ?clean? parser which would get rid of some of the current problems (bad nesting[^1],

Hi, Is markdown a good language to use in a web forum application? How does it compare to bbcode in features and ease-of-use for non-technical users? I'm thinking of using jquery-markedit in that forum app. Thanks, -- http://www.cruisefish.net

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/*"

Hello List, I have recently started using Michel Fortin's PHP "Markdown Extra" implementation to programmatically transform my markdown text files into HTML. Firstly I'd like to say markdown is very cool -- thanks to everyone involved :) I'd also like to suggest two additions to markdown: 1) I very often use /this/ markdown to indicate emphasis since I find it much

For those of you struggling with TextMate not properly detecting rspec files, Allan Odgaard (the author of TextMate) has kindly provided a tutorial on how to set up TextMate to associate all .rb files with rails and all _spec.rb files with rspec. http://macromates.com/blog/2007/file-type-detection-rspec-rails His instructions work great and switching between rspec and rails files has

It?s official, folks! After talking with my partner, Greg Narain, as well as Allan Odgaard, the creator of TextMate, we (syncPEOPLE) have decided to release our Rails bundle under the MIT license so that it can nest itself nicely within its new home, the TextMate Subversion Bundle Repository. What this means for the rest of us is that all of these great features we?ve been madly

Hello, I''m having an issue with getting embedded javascript code to actually run when loaded via an Ajax.Request() call and the callback function inserts the generated HTML and js code to my current page. It seems that the javascript code is not properly parsing. For example, I''m using the following function showinfo() to return some html code. function showInfo(go_url){

I made this thing. Some of you may find it useful. https://github.com/skurfer/RenderMarkdown I'm using it for documentation at work. It could also be handy if you run Apache on your desktop machine and want to share files (for display purposes only) that way. -- Rob McBroom <http://www.skurfer.com/>

Announcing a new release of the PmWiki Markdown extension.[1] This release introduces an improvement in page rendering, examples of syntax,[2] and better support for Atx (up from none). I have also established a page to help keep interested parties informed of changes, to include a discussion group.[3] There are still problems with loose lists and blockquotes, but this is a 0.2 release. The syntax

Hi I hope I haven't missed anything which answers this question on the syntax page, but what is the correct behaviour of the following markdown random text heading == random text # heading random text + list 1 (note there is not space before the '+') The following page treats the headings differently to the start of the list http://old-wp.slekx.com/the-markdown-tutorial/ That

This update to PHP Markdown fix a bug that slipped in the WordPress interface with the last update. It also introduce a new "feature": you can now instruct the parser to ignore HTML tags and/or entities in the input. You can do this by instantiating yourself the parser and setting the `no_markup` or `no_entities` properties to true: $parser = new Markdown_Parser;
