similar to: a JavaScript front-end for Babelmark

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

Hi, I've just posted the first public version of Showdown, a full javascript port of Markdown. It's 10KB and works in all major browsers. Try out the sample app: <http://www.attacklab.net/showdown-gui.html> Full source code is available: <http://www.attacklab.net/showdown-v0.9.zip> All the heavy lifting is done by the browser's regular expression engine, so

Consider this code span: `grep ' '`. All implementations listed on [babelmark](http://babelmark.bobtfish.net) just simply wrap it as: <code>grep ' '</code> Viewed in browsers, the above code is equivalent to: <code>grep ' '</code> I think spaces should be preserved in code span,which maintains consistence with code block. For

Dear list # I have a function ff <- function(a,b=2,c=4){a+b+c} # which I programmatically want to modify to a more specialized function in which a is replaced by 1 ff1 <- function(b=2,c=4){1+b+c} # I do as follows: vals <- list(a=1) (expr1 <- as.expression(body(ff))) expression({ a + b + c }) (expr2 <- do.call("substitute", list(expr1[[1]], vals))) { 1 +

http://babelmark.bobtfish.net/?markdown=%3Ca%2Bb%40c.org%3E&normalize=on Only Python markdown, Pandoc, discount and PEG markdown seem to get this 'right'. As a + is perfectly valid in email addresses, I'm going to fix this in my modules. This was reported to me via the cpan.org RT (37909), and I thought I'd share as it's a good one in Babelmark. Cheers Tom

We recently received the following bug report for the python-markdown implementation: > The "&" are escaped in URLs. > > An example: > [Link](http://www.site.com/?param1=value1&param2=value1) > > Should output: > <a href="http://www.site.com/?param1=value1&param2=value1">Link</a> > > Currently outputs: > <a

I'm using Centos 4.x (fully up to date) on a system at work. I have also been using firefox 2 (directly from mozilla.org) on it for a long time, and it tends to work just fine. yesterday I installed the new FF3 release. It works fine too, with one exception: The print dialog shows no printers! The print button is greyed out! There actually four or five printers defined on the system, and all

Please help, Does anyone know how to override the Mongrel request URI limits built in? I know it was set at a 512 byte limit, but my application will not work with this in place. Why do I need a larger limit? I''ve written a rails application that uses a bookmarklet to send large amounts of data from site to site. The only way to do this is (and keep it cross browser

Before I start writing an HTML parser for Showdown, I want to see if there's a safe way to have Markdown process the contents of HTML block elements by default. I don't think markdown="1" is an official part of the language yet, so this seems like a good time to talk about it. Being able to wrap Markdown text in divs and spans would make it possible to add more structure to

http://www.homemarks.com/ I wanted to share my first pet project that I started about 8 months ago when I wanted to learn JavaScript, Ruby/RAILS as a new career move. It''s not like the world needs another AJAX home page, but I felt like most of the others included to many features while all I needed was a simple display of bookmarks for project related links. If you find it

We recently received a request and working patch for Python-Markdown which adds support for starting an ordered list with the number given on the first line. For example: 3. Foo 4. Bar would result in <ol> <li start="3">Foo</li> <li>Bar</li> </ol> I'm not opposed to adding this, but I noticed that no other implementation

I recently posted a request for a Mozilla search engine plugin for the R java search applet. Having recieved no response, I pursued this myself and came up with an alternative. I found a "bookmarklet" that was used to submit searches to Amazon. I modified the code to submit searches to the R search engine. I tested the following using Firefox 0.9 on Windows 2000. Create a

Hello, How to correctly made multiline code block within a list, like.. * foo * bar * ``` Code 1 Code 2 Code 3 ``` * Another list item The above markup is not working, what I want is Code 1, Code 2 and Code 3 appear in different lines. Thanks.

I am using Prototype 1.6.0.2 on Firefox 3.0b4. The following does not work when I enter it in Firebug: $A([1,2,3,4]).each(function(n) {alert(n);}); The above is just an example. Any array, using $A and any enumerable method, returns the following: TypeError: iterator.bind is not a function Seems like some objects are not being extended correctly? Using Prototype 1.5.0 on Firefox 3.0b4, this

so this is a weird one: http://babelmark.bobtfish.net/?markdown=%3Csup%3E*%3C%2Fsup%3EThe+[distinction]+between+certification+and+qualification%2C+although+vague%2C+appears+to+be+that+under+the+NASED+system%2C+states+did+the+ultimate+*certification*+of+a+voting+system+for+fitness+in+future+elections.

babelmark sure does make it easy to convince people that markdown inconsistencies are a mess of trouble. before, people ignored the problem and/or its scope. and waylan's new list just shows how big that mess is. especially if we acknowledge all the other uses extant. plus gruber's latest manifestation of his longstanding reluctance to "fuck with it" means markdown is stuck.

I just had a very odd incident with my session locking up, so I thought I'd describe it to see if it rings any bells with anyone. Background: I shut down my machine last night for Earth Hour, so the last thing I did before logging out was exit Firefox3, telling it to save my open tab state. When I turned the system back on and started FF3 again, it installed new versions of three plugins (I

Hi list! Take this markdown input: * asdf * asdf * asdf asdf What I want: <ul> <li>asdf <ul> <li>asdf</li> <li>asdf</li> </ul> <p>asdf</p></li> </ul> But markdown puts the first asdf into a paragraph. There is nothing I can do

I've just uploaded an implementation of markdown in C. It defines the syntax using a PEG grammar, so it should be easy to extend and modify. Right now it can produce output in either HTML or LaTeX, but it would be simple to add other output formats. It's very fast: on my machine, it converts a 178K markdown file in 0.14 seconds (vs. 9.6 seconds for the latest Markdown.pl and 0.57 seconds

Hi, This might be related to the bug reported earlier about parsing URLs with parens, but the following looks like a bug to me: [ZIP archives](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZIP_(file_format) "ZIP (file format) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia") gets rendered by Markdown 1.01 as: <p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZIP_(file_format">ZIP
