Hi all,
I followed the thread reagarding markdown support and gave it a try on my own.
Please check out
https://server.ac-drexler.de/fossil/fossil/doc/tip/addons/markdown.md
for an integration proposal of the discount library with the build system of
fossil.

## Markdown support for fossil
after looking for additional markup support for fossil I found [this thread][1].
With the references and some afternoon work I managed to integrate
Markdown as an additional mime-type .md that the doc interface handles in a
similar way to .wiki& .txt.
No full wiki integration into fossils wiki system is planned because I
understand and agree with the [point of Richard Hipp][5] that the repositories
themselves should be portable and not break backward compatibility. But the
rendering of .md files from within a repo should be fine.
If configured ('configure --with-md' is supported) .md files are run
through the [discount version of tin-pot][3]. In addition the page title
is set according to the supported pandoc header format (three lines starting
with '%' at the beginning of the .md document: title, author, date. All three
must be present for the detection to work).
Please feel free to look at the
[doc-markdown-support](/timeline?r=doc-markdown-support) branch in [this
repository](https://server.ac-drexler.de/fossil/fossil/).
