Hello blind people

You confuse form and contents.
May be you should try to understand. But you continue to get blind after all
everybody should carry its own cross and this is perfectly ok not to
try to understand.

Pillar is not about syntax but about the text model and all the visitors.
We are working on a release of Pillar 70 but we are slow because busy
with other things.
Part of the effort is to redesign and remodularised the core model
since it grew too much with optional features.
But for that we needed to design the production pipeline and clean a
lot of problems (like relying on external bash files
and external servers, and saving mustache files while we can just use
stream and many more).

Now where can I find a real robust parser of markdown written in Pharo
(with tests of course)?
I mean one that fully handles badly designed markdown? and one that I
can extend to support references and missing
things.
Because Pillar could use multiple input formats. Now I will not spend
MY time to write a parser. Why because I can write all the books
I want with Pillar and this is a "Soup of Stone" in Pillar dev.

Repeat after me: the domain is more important than the syntax. The
proof is that pillar can generate
slides, book, ascii, epub, markdown (but apparently the one of git,
yes because they are multiple ones). HTML, static web sites ....

I personally do not want to be tight to any external frameworks like pandoc.

PS: for the record, pillar syntax was invented in 2000. So please stop
to bash us about not invented here because this syntax
was invented before markdown was well-known. So check your sources
before insulting people.
