similar to: No Markdown in <div>s or <table>s ?

How could one indent (not quote) a block of text? This is commonly done in Wikipedia with one or more colons at the beginning of the line, and is very handy for threaded discussions. An example is at http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/MojoMojo&diff=next&oldid=275101911 -- Dan Dascalescu http://wiki.dandascalescu.com

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

As many of you know, when a piece of open-source software languishes with bugs for 3 years it's often forked Markdown.pl is licensed under the BSD license. (do `>tail -35 /path/to/Markdown.pl`) Has anyone thought of forking and maintaining Markdown.pl (hopefully with Gruber's blessing) to fix some of the known bugs? I'm not volunteering (I'd be horrible)... just seeing if

I would like to have a wiki that uses Markdown as the markup language (or something very close), I've currently used PmWiki and I really like it but there are some problems with using Markdown so I'm interested to see if there is an alternative that works better for me. I've looked at wiki matrix and searched for and found the following list bitweaver, DekiWiki, DokuWiki, Friki,

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

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

I just received a [bug report] for Python-Markdown complaining that colons are used in the ids of footnotes. For reference, we [output] the same format at PHP Markdown Extra. The general complaint is that the colon in the id attribute (`id="fnref:1"`) causes jquery to choke when referencing that id from javascript because jquery uses colons to indicate pseudo elements (as does CSS). As

The html document various characters like ? \xa0 ? \xa9 (Copyright symbol) (and others). I tried using html2text.py but it didn't like these characters. Any ideas on how I can use iconv or another tool to convert documents like this so I can then convert to Markdown? I don't want to do manually as I have around 500+ documents. Jeremy C. Reed

hello, i am looking for advice regarding the best repo from which to download "markdown" for use on a mac. on my ubuntu machine i just installed some standard markdown package with apt-get. but i have not found anything equivalent for my mac machine. i am looking for a maintained package from a reputable repo site that can be automatically installed and upgraded using the packaging

Hello! Is there a simpler, better designed guide to Markdown than http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/ that I can refer my forum users to? Something Googleish-looking. Or do forum owners usually end up having to write their own guides? Thank you! Mikkel -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

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

For those of you who are expert you may chuckle over this. Perhaps if it's in the record, however, it may help someone else. I was getting cases of <div id="content"> standing on a line by itself, getting converted to this: <p><div id="content"></p> Yes, the line above and below are blank. Yes the div tag is starting at the first column It

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, 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

Hello everybody, I've just noticed that markdown doesn't always generate XHTML. In particular the input <script src="http://evilserver.net/evil.js"> generates the output: <p><script src="http://evilserver.net/evil.js"></p> (This is the markdown dingus at daring fireball, and the markdownj implementation exhibits the same problem. I

Dear Markdown enthusiasts out there! Sure, I don't need to tell you how great an versatile Markdown is for writing standard documents. I think, that it would make a really great universal standard as a programming documentation language, too, and maybe "CodeDown" would be a good title for this approach. The idea started when I was trying to document some PHP scripts. I need to

I noticed the markdown used for http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/had this: Discussion List <a id="discussion-list" /> --------------- It seems to be a way to associate id's or classes with markdown elements. Is this a standard "best practices"? I've gone a different direction in my use of MD. I have a trivial jQuery stunt that looks for

Hi All, I was wondering what people thought to the idea of getting "[markdown]" added to the subject lines of all the mails to the markdown mailing list? It would certainly help me out with my email organisation. Many thanks CHEERS> SAM

Hi Is it possible to run Markdown the app standalone, that is, not as part of a webserver. So the model would be write a file in Markdown and then use the Markdown app to convert the file into (x)html for local browsing in a browser. I want to learn Markdown before I have to go through the pain of setting up a webserver. I have been trying to get jetty working on Fedora 16 but keep

where are the worthwhile markdown dingi? (dinguses?) i'm interested in any dingus that can take a "reasonable" amount of text -- let's say anything up to a megabyte -- and return the results in real-time, without a long wait... ideally it'd handle something more than gruber-minimum, and an a.p.i. (that'd take a u.r.i. as input) would be dandy... bonus points for
