Nope: I'm using mathopd as my http server.

No, but this would not be (I think) very difficult.

No, but (again) I don't think it would be very difficult.

It's bed time where I'm at, so I'll respond more fully tomorrow or the
next day.  However, I know I would not have time to set it up, but I'd
be willing to get accounts setup for those who would need them.

Gentlemen, I'm late to thread, but I have a VPS which is severely

Hello.

Thank you very much for your proposal. I've not been able to get a VPS 
yet, so it could be handy if we could have a "slot" on yours.


Are the following services installed / configured / running (or 
deployed) on your server :


A) Nginx
B) gitolite
C) fcgiwrap

?

If yes, would you like to set the wiki up yourself, or do you prefer 
someone else (it can be me) to set it up?


Regards,
Boris.

Unfortunately, those docs are vague on a number of important questions (I'm
not talking about corner cases).  I've tried to list a few of them here:

http://johnmacfarlane.net/babelmark2/faq.html#what-are-some-big-questions-that-the-markdown-spec-does-not-answer

I hope you'll consider weighing in on some of these things and
clarifying the official documentation.  I don't see how this would
prevent markdown from growing and thriving. It is frustrating for those
who write in markdown to find that their documents get interpreted
differently by different markdown processors.  And it is frustrating
for implementers not to know when something is a bug.

Agreed. I was confused. I removed it.

Very interesting examples in that FAQ.

Although I would say this one is a little misleading:

http://johnmacfarlane.net/babelmark2/?text=%5C%5C%5Btest%5D(not+a+link%3F)

It would more accurately be this:

http://johnmacfarlane.net/babelmark2/?text=%5C%5C%5Btest%5D(notalink%3F)

While that is a lot less interesting, it is not exhibiting the issue of
spaces in urls - which is the next item on your list.

There could also be this:

http://johnmacfarlane.net/babelmark2/?text=%5C%5Btest%5D(notalink%3F)

Which is also not very interesting. The only difference in these two
examples is the way php markdown handles escaped characters - which has
nothing specific to do with links. Seems to me like none of
these examples belong on the list.
