I agree. Let's try to avoid any serious changes. To the extent that the implementations and "Markdown Syntax" agree, let's just go with that. In cases where they don't, let's decide what makes most sense. Needless to say, working out a spec means that at least some of the implementations would need to be changed, and would no longer generate the same output for the same input. I just think that when resolving the differences we should consider actual usage and the "spirit" of the original syntax document, rather than the letter of "Markdown Syntax". In particular, I would consider going with the PHP Markdown Extra solution over Markdown.pl in a few cases (at least for underscores in the middle of the word, which is my pet peeve). - yuri -- http://sputnik.freewisdom.org/ _______________________________________________ Markdown-Discuss mailing list Markdown-Discuss@six.pairlist.net http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/markdown-discuss
