Is there any consensus on an improved/extended Markdown?
Between MultiMarkdown, Github Flavored Markdown, Stack Exchange's additions, this new "elegant" markdown and others there seems to be bit of fragmentation in this idea of a simple markup.
- tanoku 15y agoNo, there isn't really a consensus. FWIW, this is not a "new elegant Markdown", this is a 100% standards compilant Markdown library, with optional support for some extensions that we found useful. The syntax for these extensions comes, basically, from the Markdown mailing list and PHP-Markdown Extra.
- technomancy 15y ago> this is a 100% standards compilant Markdown library Eh, what's that now? Isn't Markdown implementation-defined? I wasn't aware there was a spec, I thought it was just some notes on a dude's blog.
- benatkin 15y agoYes, it is just some notes on a dude's blog. Well put.
- rednaught 15y agoI don't know what he meant by that either.
- guywithabike 15y agoI think the "Markdown standard" could be considered to be Gruber's official docs: http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax
