the syntax or HTML and plain text presentation.


Have you considered what will happen to code blocks with `nl2br`?  
Won't this:


function a() {
return 1;
}

be turned into this:

function a() {
return 1;
}

effectively doubling the newlines?

Mmm, yes. Didn't think about that. Another solution would perhaps be to
split the string into an array by using the start and end tags of block
elements, and then only nl2br specific elements of this array, and then put
the string back together again.

That can be fixed by *replacing* newlines with break tags so
there aren’t any literal linebreaks. View Source won’t be pretty
but the browser rendering will be correct.

You can change [peg-markdown] to behave the way you want (without
problems in code blocks) just by adding one line:

--- a/markdown_parser.leg
+++ b/markdown_parser.leg
@@ -384,6 +384,7 @@ Entity =( HexEntity | DecEntity | CharEntity )
 { $$ = mk_str(yytext); $$->key = HTML; }
 
 Endline =   TerminalEndline | NormalEndline
+{ $$ = mk_element(LINEBREAK); }

standard-izing extended markdown

[Gour]

Hello!

On the markdown site it is written: "Markdown’s syntax is intended for
one purpose: to be used as a format for writing for the web.", although
recently I moved from Emacs Muse to Markdown markup for writing my study
notes and plan to use it for writing technical documentation as well.

However, in order to be able to use the features I had in Muse, I write
using 'extended' syntax and use Pandoc to convert my study notes to
*.odt (and to *.doc to my mentor), while I plan to convert markdown to
ConTeXt for my own publishing needs.

Pandoc will get bibliographic citations support and it already has
support for stuff like footnotes, tables, and definition lists.

That's why I'm interested to know what is the plan in regard to
standardizing some of those 'extra' features which put markdown markup
in the category of (more) serious authoring solutions?

I appreciate the simplicity of markdown, but still consider that the
above features do not taint the basic model, but provide powerful
authoring solution along with converters like Pandoc which does
LaTeX/ConTeXt/...


Sincerely,
Gour
