I'm not saying "omg this is impossible!" I'm pointing out that there's more work to do than updating some Scribble structures. There are a few renderers that would need to be updated, and in a way that gives satisfactory results in the messy real world.
The HTML render should still work well in browsers and in tools. (Good news: Eli says the `start` attribute is old and widely supported.) The markdown render should still work well in human readers' brains and in tools. > Of course, you can always just drop down to HTML in Markdown, so it’s not a > big deal. It depends how you're using the Scribble-generated markdown. If all ordered lists are now rendered using HTML, that might be OK for markdown-consuming tools, but not very good for markdown-reading humans. (Also it's not really the case you can always drop to HTML, anywhere. There are official restrictions; also de facto implementation limits. So to be safe for tools, an ordered list would probably need _all_ its child elements rendered only as HTML. That entire block would read like HTML not markdown.) Of course, it may be that hardly anyone is using the Scribble->markdown renderer, in which case it's moot. :) It might also be fine to doc this away: "Hey if you try to render non-contiguous ordered lists as markdown, it won't work. So don't try that." :) ____________________ Racket Users list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/users
