Hello all, I'm announcing python-markdown2 -- another Python implementation of Markdown. (MIT license.) http://code.google.com/p/python-markdown2/ It should be a drop-in replacement for [markdown.py](http://www.freewisdom.org/projects/python-markdown/). It fixes some issues that I ran into with markdown.py [^1]. I believe that it is faster than markdown.py [^2] and on par or a little

> Anyway, a spec for Markdown Extra would contain a spec for Markdown as > well, wouldn't it? I think the whole enterprise would be a lot more valuable, if we produce a combined spec, which would be self-contained, and call it Markdown 2.0. I don't think we necessarily need a formal grammar. What we need is to create a document, starting with "Markdown Syntax" perhaps,

I am pleased to announce that after much hard work, a Release Candidate for Python Markdown version 2.0 is now available for [download][]. Please, download it, install it, test it, beat it... and report any [bugs][]. Assuming no major bugs, we will release 2.0 final approximately one month from today. Until then, the project [site][] will continue to document version 1.7. Updated documentation is

Hi, I'm getting what I believe to be a bug. If I put the following in markdown: 1. This is a numbered list 2. Blah 9. This is another list item 10. Ok, weird bug here 11. It's really bothering me And when I run it through markdown.pl 1.01 I get out the following: <ol> <li>This is a numbered list</li> <li>Blah</li> <li>This is another

I'd like to announce a beta release of the Fenced-Code-Blocks Extension for Python-Markdown. <http://www.freewisdom.org/projects/python-markdown/Available_Extensions> The latest code for Python-Markdown and packaged extensions are now available on Gitorious. <http://gitorious.org/projects/python-markdown> The same syntax is used as the just released PHP Markdown Extra 1.2.

I'm pleased to announce the release of pandoc version 1.0.0.1. Pandoc is a general text markup format converter. In addition to strict markdown and an extended markdown syntax (including tables, footnotes, definition lists, enhanced ordered lists, LateX math, etc.), pandoc can read HTML, LaTeX, and reStructuredText. It can write HTML, LaTeX, ConTeXt, DocBook, RTF, OpenDocument XML, ODT,

Hello! On the markdown site it is written: "Markdown?s syntax is intended for one purpose: to be used as a format for writing for the web.", although recently I moved from Emacs Muse to Markdown markup for writing my study notes and plan to use it for writing technical documentation as well. However, in order to be able to use the features I had in Muse, I write using

I am a professional freelance writer and mystery novelist, and I often work on a variety of systems -- Linux/Unix, Mac, PC and my AlphaSmart. For that reason, I write the majority of my articles, short stories and novels using Markdown, which I then convert HTML for the Web or (via Pandoc) to RTF/ODT/etc. for publication. In support of that work, I've recently developed a utility, mkdwc,

Hello, I've published a Ruby gem that lets you create slide shows and author slides in plain text using a wiki-style markup language that's easy-to-write and easy-to-read. Yes, that's Markdown. (Textile is supported too ;-) You can find two samples online in Markdown: o http://slideshow.rubyforge.org/svn/samples/rest.text o

There's a number already available and its fairly easy to write your own. I've slowly been adding many of php extra's features [2]. Unfortunately, some things are still hard, but were working to

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

Hola: Ya se ha comentado aquí algo sobre knitr, creo que la alternativa a Sweave (al que le tengo un gran cariño). La cosa va muy bien y lejos, os comento muy breve y os adjunto dos ficheros para muestra. Estoy buscando una forma de escribir potente y ágil para que los alumnos trabaje al cien por cien sin necesidad de aprender LaTeX (aqltugc). Para eso había encontrado markdown pero ¿cómo hacer

So, this is my first post, greeting, yada, yada. By way of background, I'm a law student/former DC IT consultant and soon-to-return to the IT field. Don't ask me why I went to law school, I have forgotten--and I am not certain it was a good choice. I ran across Markdown only recently, although I have always favored ASCII as the impervious format. I'm also polishing my Python skills,

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 my work I do some scientific and mathematical writing, and like most people in academia I use LaTeX. I trade a lot of email with colleagues which contains mathematical notation. We all do a lot of LaTeX, so we tend to just drop LaTeX math notation into plaintext; expressions such as `\{ x \mid x^2 \in S \}` are easy to type, and in simple cases fairly easy to read. More complex

Hello all, I've began writing the parsing section of the spec, and I though I'd let you know about where I'm heading with all this. Basically, parsing is defined as three consecutive passes: parsing document elements, parsing block elements and parsing span elements. Each pass is going to contain a set of rules the parser should attempt to match while parsing the input. Rules

It has been a while since I've announced a pandoc release on this list, so here's an update. The latest version of pandoc supports conversion of markdown to a host of other formats, including * HTML formats: XHTML, HTML5, and HTML slide shows using Slidy, S5, or DZSlides * Word processor formats: Microsoft Word docx, OpenOffice odt * Ebooks: EPUB * Documentation formats: DocBook, GNU

Python-markdown currently replaces all straight quotes (`"`) with the html entity (`&quot;`). Someone recently complained about this in a [bug report][]. As it turns out the quote was the symptom that brought the real problem to light[^1]. In any event, the reporter pointed out that markdown.pl does not replace straight quotes with the html entity. I know John Gruber has mentioned before
