Markdown is mature enough and there are plenty of implementations. I suggest text/markdown. Here's a list of currently registered text subtypes: http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/text/ What are your thoughts? --Dietrich Epp </pre> Dietrich Epp 2010-03-06T21:46:06 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.text.markdown.general/3545 <pre>Not only is [Markdown] dead, it's starting to smell really bad. (Apologies to Pike.) It's author appears to have little interest in developing the tool and participating in the community which uses it. I'd like to see the community cooperate toward a specification which addresses the shortcomings and ambiguities of Markdown (even if it need be released under a new name). </pre> Albert Skye 2010-03-05T18:32:50 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.text.markdown.general/3534 <pre>Hi, first of all thanks for such a great syntax, so far it's the best I know! I have a document with quite long titles and I was wondering if it was possible to hard-break them: e.g.: This is a veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrry long title ======================================================= would be This is a veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrry ============================================ long title ========== Right now it produces two &lt;h1/&gt; tags. Best, Alexandre </pre> Alexandre Leray 2010-03-01T21:22:19 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.text.markdown.general/3531 <pre>I like to use markdown's reference links with the implicit name syntax. It allows keeping a table of links seperate from the referencing link. However, what I don't like is that I have no way of (optionally) including the table of links in the markdown's output. For instance, in the example: I get 10 times more traffic from [Google][] than from [Yahoo][] or [MSN][]. [google]: http://google.com/ "Google" [yahoo]: http://search.yahoo.com/ "Yahoo Search" [msn]: http://search.msn.com/ "MSN Search" The hypertext it produces is fine, and includes the links as defined by the reference links. But I would like additionally to be able to have the table of links appears elsewhere in the html output. Is there some way of extending markdown in this direction. Perhaps a syntax like [][] would produce a table of links, and [][id1,id2] would produce the table for just links with ids of id1 or id2.....

There seems to be a bunch of files floating around, I wondered if anyone had any opinions about which is best. thanks </pre> chombee 2010-01-25T18:07:04 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.text.markdown.general/3528 <pre>This is a minor extension to Michel Fortin's work that helps me add equations using LaTeX syntax (via jsMath) to my blog posts. It's based on v. 1.2.4. There's a brief description here http://www.leancrew.com/all-this/2009/12/php-markdown-extra-math/ and the GitHub repository is here http://github.com/drdrang/php-markdown-extra-math The display math code seems fairly clean to me, but the inline math is a bit messy, as I had to pry open Michel's handleSpanToken function. The code works for me, but suggestions for improvement are welcome. </pre> Dr. Drang 2009-12-22T19:26:06 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.text.markdown.general/3526 <pre>Hi everybody, wanted to let you know that I have just released version 0.2.0 of kramdown. kramdown is a *free* GPL-licensed [Ruby](http://www.ruby-lang.org) library for parsing a superset of Markdown. It is completely written in Ruby, supports standard Markdown (with some minor modifications) and various extensions that have been made popular by the PHP Markdown Extra package and Maruku. It is probably the fastest pure-Ruby Markdown converter available (December 2009), being 5x faster than Maruku and about 10x faster than BlueFeather (although still 30x slower than native code like BlueCloth 2 or rdiscount). It also seems to be on par with PHP Markdown but way faster than PHP Markdown Extra and Markdown.pl (but this has not been tested extensively). Since the conversion of a kramdown document is done in two steps, first building an intermediate tree representation of the document while parsing and then rendering the tree as HTML fragment, it should also be easy to add additional converters for outputting, for example, a PDF file via LaTeX. I have also written a detailed syntax description for the kramdown syntax (the superset of Markdown which kramdown parses) which is available at &lt;http://kramdown.rubyforge.org/syntax.html&gt; and a [quick reference sheet](http://kramdown.rubyforge.org/quickref.html) for quick lookup purposes. Homepage for installation instructions and documentation: http://kramdown.rubyforge.org Best regards, Thomas </pre> Thomas Leitner 2009-12-03T20:06:04 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.text.markdown.general/3525 <pre>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 it's relatively easy(ish) to create Markdown dialects. Right now it ships with a dialect that supports David Wheeler's table syntax proposal at http://www.justatheory.com/computers/markup/markdown-table-rfc.html. The actual implementation is slightly different from David's proposal, but mostly with his blessing ;) The module is on CPAN at http://search.cpan.org/dist/Markdent/ I also wrote a bit about why this module can be useful in a blog post at http://blog.urth.org/2009/11/whats-the-point-of-markdent.html -dave /*============================================================ http://VegGuide.org http://blog.urth.org Your guide to all that's veg House Absolute(ly Pointless) ============================================================*/ </pre> Dave Rolsky 2009-11-29T18:51:29 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.text.markdown.general/3522 <pre>_______________________________________________ Markdown-Discuss mailing list Markdown-Discuss&lt; at &gt;six.pairlist.net http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/markdown-discuss </pre> Bill Eccles 2009-11-04T23:06:19 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.text.markdown.general/3517 <pre>_______________________________________________ Markdown-Discuss mailing list Markdown-Discuss&lt; at &gt;six.pairlist.net http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/markdown-discuss </pre> Joonas Pulakka 2009-10-22T17:29:02 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.text.markdown.general/3515 <pre>_______________________________________________ Markdown-Discuss mailing list Markdown-Discuss&lt; at &gt;six.pairlist.net http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/markdown-discuss </pre> AJG Baeumel 2009-10-19T19:20:39 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.text.markdown.general/3510 <pre>Has anyone seen any attempts to give Markdown a PEG (parsing expressions grammar) recognizable by some ruby PEG parser generator grammar like Treetop? http://treetop.rubyforge.org/ </pre> Costa Shapiro 2009-10-19T00:27:16 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.text.markdown.general/3509 <pre>Hello all. This is an update to PHP Markdown and PHP Markdown Extra correcting a couple of bugs that got reported since last release. I also decided to enable in this release shortcut-style reference links (as present in Markdown.pl 1.0.2 beta), as most implementations of Markdown accepts them by default. It's also because waiting for John to release officially version 1.0.2 as an actual release (instead of a beta) for enabling this feature looks like a dead end at the moment. So you can download it from here: &lt;http://michelf.com/projects/php-markdown/&gt; As usual, you can also grab the latest release from the PEAR channel at &lt;http://pear.michelf.com/&gt; or the Git repository mirror at &lt;http://git.michelf.com/php-markdown/ &gt; Here is the detailed list of changes. 1.0.1n (10 Oct 2009): *Enabled reference-style shortcut links. Now you can write reference- style links with less brakets: This is [my website]. [my website]: http://example.com/ This was added in the 1.0.2 betas, but commented out in the 1.0.1 branch, waiting for the feature to be officialized. [But half of the other Markdown implementations are supporting this syntax][half], so it makes sense for compatibility's sake to allow it in PHP Markdown too. [half]: http://babelmark.bobtfish.net/?markdown=This+is+%5Bmy+website%5D.%0D%0A%09%09%0D%0A%5Bmy+website%5D%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2F%0D%0A&amp;src=1&amp;dest=2 *Now accepting many valid email addresses in autolinks that were previously rejected, such as: &lt;abc+mailbox/department=shipping&lt; at &gt;example.com&gt; &lt;!#$%&amp;'*+-/=?^_`.{|}~&lt; at &gt;example.com&gt; &lt;"abc&lt; at &gt;def"&lt; at &gt;example.com&gt; &lt;"Fred Bloggs"&lt; at &gt;example.com&gt; &lt;jsmith&lt; at &gt;[192.0.2.1]&gt; *Now accepting spaces in URLs for inline and reference-style links. Such URLs need to be surrounded by angle brakets. For instance: [link text](&lt;http://url/with space&gt; "optional title") [link text][ref] [ref]: &lt;http://url/with space&gt; "optional title" There is still a quirk which may prevent this from working correctly with relative URLs in inline-style links however. *Fix for adjacent list of different kind where the second list could end as a sublist of the first when not separated by an empty line. *Fixed a bug where inline-style links wouldn't be recognized when the link definition contains a line break between the url and the title. *Fixed a bug where tags where the name contains an underscore aren't parsed correctly. *Fixed some corner-cases mixing underscore-ephasis and asterisk- emphasis. Extra 1.2.4 (10 Oct 2009): *Fixed a problem where unterminated tags in indented code blocks could prevent proper escaping of characaters in the code block. </pre> Michel Fortin 2009-10-10T17:23:49 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.text.markdown.general/3505 <pre>I could not find anywhere in John Gruber's documentation the recommended order of Markdown vs. SmartyPants in a scripted process. I guessed SmartyPants first, and that worked until I tried to encode a link with a title like this: An [example](http://url.com/ "Title") SmartyPants encoded the quotes, which created a mess. So, I changed the order to process text through Markdown first, then SmartyPants. So far, so good. </pre> Jerry Krinock 2009-09-22T16:42:00 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.text.markdown.general/3502 <pre>Markersdown: I was fooling around with lua and decided to write a markdown parser using the terrific lpeg library. Here's the result: http://github.com/jgm/lunamark/tree/master There are already two markdown libraries for lua, one a native lua implementation based on global substitutions, the other a binding to discount. What makes lunamark different is that it is based on a PEG grammar (adapted from my peg-markdown). This can be found in the file lunamark/markdown_parser.lua in the source tree. Lunamark converts standard markdown to HTML and LaTeX. Adding a new output format is easy (the LaTeX writer took about 20 minutes to add). It is also possible to add new input formats. Lunamark passes the Markdown 1.0.3 test suite (except for one edge case involving loose/tight lists, and here its behavior is consistent with the markdown syntax description -- see the README for peg-markdown for discussion). As for performance, lunamark is about the same speed as PHP Markdown in my tests. John </pre> John MacFarlane 2009-09-12T03:30:44 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.text.markdown.general/3493 <pre>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 next level of realism with Unicode box drawing characters[2]? I have long admired the w3m browser[3]'s ability to render HTML tables using Unicode box drawing characters. For example, w3m renders this[4] demo page as follows[5]: A more complex table-within-a table. An inner table showing a variety of headings and data items. ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Inner Table │ ├───────────────────┬────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ │ Head1 │ │ CORNER ├────────────────────────────┬───────────────┤ │ │ │ Head3 │ ├───────────┬───────┤ Head2 ├──────┬────────┤ │ Head4 │ Head5 │ │Head6 │ │ Outer ├───────────┼───────┼────────────────────────────┼──────┴────────┤ Table │A │ │ • Lists can be table data │ Two Wide │ │ │ │ • Images can be table data│ │ ├───────────┤ ├────────────────────────────┼──────┬────────┤ │ │Two │A Form in a table: Your age:│ │ │ │ │Tall │ [ ] │ No │Multiple│ │HTML │ │ What is your favorite ice │border│line │ │Station │ │ cream? │Little│item │ │ │ │ [Chocolate ] │Table │ │ │ │ │ [OK] [Cancel] │ │ │ └───────────┴───────┴────────────────────────────┴──────┴────────┘ What if Markdown used Unicode characters to express tables in this manner? All we need are two essential subsets of the Unicode box drawing characters: * thin ones for normal cells: ┌ ┐ └ ┘ ─ │ * thick ones for heading cells: ╔ ╗ ╚ ╝ ═ ║ Thanks for your consideration.
