similar to: RFC: Markdown Table Syntax

Hello List, While translating documents in markdown, I've noticed that it is often necessary to continue table cell text on the following line, especially when limited to a narrow column, and especially in table headers. Unfortunately, this is impossible with the existing table syntax, which interprets each new line as a new table row. I see that David Wheeler proposed a syntax for a text

I am glad to see support for footnotes working its way into other implementations of Markdown! However, I have a couple of issues. Issue # 1. There appears to be a bug in the footnote parser that causes material following the footnote to be included as part of the footnote. For example: < Example Section > ## Metadata ## First, take a look at the overall structure of the document.

Howdy, I've been thinking a lot about definition list syntax, and what I did and didn't like about the PHP Markdown Extra syntax (which seems to be a de-facto standard, discount notwithstanding, yes?). What I came up with is a single character change to the PHP Markdown Extra syntax. I just published a detailed explanation of my thoughts and reasoning for this on [my

It appears that "double angles" are not properly converted when they are not in code blocks, if there is not a space following the second `<`. For example: This is not handled <<properly>>. But this <<is>>. As is << this>>/. becomes: <p>This is not handled &lt;<properly>>.</p> <pre><code>But

I pushed Text::Markdown & Text::MultiMarkdown version 1.0.17 to CPAN late last night, and it's now indexed and you can see it on search.cpan.org. You can get it from: http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/B/BO/BOBTFISH/Text-Markdown-1.0.17.tar.gz And if you'd like to browse the HTML documentation: http://search.cpan.org/~bobtfish/Text-Markdown-1.0.17/lib/Text/ Markdown.pm

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

i am considering writing converters between my "zen markup language' and "markdown", but i don't know which version of markdown to target. i'd think it'd be the "pandoc" version, and i understand that to be closest to "multimarkdown", but gruber has said he "disagrees" with "almost every part" of multimarkdown's syntax

A lot of people have expressed interest in combining math features with Markdown, but I am not aware of any real developments from these requests. I was looking around and toying with [ASCIIMathPHP](http:// www.jcphysics.com/ASCIIMath/) and integrated it with MultiMarkdown and my xhtml2latex XSLT transforms. You can include math as an inline formula by using a markup similar to inline

How can we improve URL detection in Markdown? I posted a question on Stack Overflow and happened to click a URL in my post. To my surprise, it wasn't functional, and it took three different, nonintuitive manipulations before I achieved a functional URL. Stack Overflow says "not my problem", so I'm deferring to Markdown itself. Here's a

It appears that Markdown will process ampersands contained within HTML comments if that comment is part of a markdown paragraph, but will not when that paragraph is contained within an HTML block of it's own (and therefore ignored by Markdown.) For example: This is a markdown paragraph with a comment that *will* be processed <!-- This & *will* be converted -->

I've recently released a new Markdown parser in Perl, called Markdent. This differs from the existing Perl tools (and most other language tools I've seen) in that it's an event-driven parser. This lets you analyze the document in much more interesting ways, as well as cache parse results (but not HTML generation), and do other fun stuff. The module is also designed so that

Hello, I read David Wheeler's table proposal[1] for Markdown and very much agree with his conclusion and PostgreSQL-inspired proposed format. I also read the mailing list archives for 2009 but did not find any clear concesus on whether DW's format was officially accepted (I hope it is soon!). However, I want to ask: has anyone considered taking these simple ASCII table drawings to the

Hi, because of the great editor "Writer" from Information Architects I've learned about Markdown and I love it. But it's very confusing, that there are so many standards with different features: classical Markdown, Markdown Extra, MultiMarkdown. I think for most users and the spreading of Markdown it would be nice, to have only one syntax. And this universal syntax should have

On the suggestion for double-spaces, I share the general 'oh no'. I see an explosion of people with iPads etc trying out Markdown in education because formatting sucks on iPads. They struggle with needing new lines (see recent post for an example). In short, they struggle with white-space (invisible) mark-up. Added to that, frequently cut and paste leaves double spaces (eg in BBEdit

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

Hi, First of all, thanks to John Gruber for the fantastic Markdown syntax and parse/render system. Also, thanks to Michel Fortin for his PHP 4 version of Markdown. Based on those two works, I have completed a **plugin-aware** PHP 5 version of Markdown. You can see it in Subversion here: * <http://solarphp.com/svn/trunk/Solar/Markdown.php> *

Does anyone know which version of Markdown is best for Wordpress? I see online that there are a few and was wondering which one people prefer. Also, is there any chance John Gruber will write an official Markdown plugin for Wordpress, given how popular it's becoming? -------------------------------------------------------- robdumas at gmail.com http://obnoxio.us/

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
