Actually, that's the problem with these markup languages: you have as
many of them as they are unsatisfied power users... Everybody is making
his own, from AFT to Textile, from classical Wiki syntax to MediaWiki
one, and so on. Making a full lexer for each one might be too much.
One would need my still vaporware Peg-based custom lexer (or something
similar)...
I almost forgot that you can have html in Markdown, so that may or may
not complicate things (also, you can put bare '<', '>', and '&' in and
Markdown is smart about it). I'd also not considered the issue of
indentation of previous lines (say, for lists (or <pre> blocks) inside
other lists).
Ok. Thanks for the feedback. Given Markdown's inherent readability,
I'm now not so sure this one's worth too much effort to chase after.
