This is interesting, but if I understand the proposal correctly, there is no (upper) restriction of the number of tildes you can use as long as both the beginning and ending lines are of equal length. That means the first block could use 4 while the second could use 6. For example: Some text... ~~~~ some code ~~~~ More text... ~~~~~~ more code ~~~~~~ I realize that eliminating the blank lines helps also, but the differing lengths are easy enough for my eyes to catch. -- ---- Waylan Limberg [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Markdown-Discuss mailing list Markdown-Discuss@six.pairlist.net http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/markdown-discuss
