The spec deviation for newlines could be done in multiple ways, but the implementations you mention all choose to trigger block constructs (which includes lists, and also headings) on any start of line. It's because the syntax tweak is int

Of course. Either way, it's close to the plain text convention, though one wouldn't bracket the link-name part.

Wiki markup is recognisable with link conventions [[like this internal link]] and [[like this| http://external/link] ] (MediaWiki and Creole; earlier wikis relied solely on CamlCase). Markdown's design is inspired by conventions used in pl

That statement is nothing special, both Markdown and asciidoc claim to be a formalisation of the plain text conventions you already use. IMHO most of the alternatives mentioned in this comment thread understand their goals and the design s

Lisp homoiconicity + strong, expressive static typing seem hard to mix. Apparently Shen does it? Is the type system similar to ML with quotations/antiquotations?

I like Textile too, it has the cleanest "link syntax": http://txstyle.org/doc/12/links . It's supported in Redmine and ikiwiki.

Next time people ask, just explain that markdown always reflows consecutive lines. GitHub's change (for comment fields only) isn't list specific, they just never reflow. They document it here: https://help.github.com/articles/github-flavo

Who ignores the <link> syntax? The html is generally handled like this: parse the Markdown syntax and render as html, then parse, whitelist, and render the html.

by Tobu 13y ago
Markdown's embedded html is a strength, especially for something long-form and structured like a wiki. Of course it requires whitelisting, but that's not terribly hard to do (with the understanding that a markdown parser can be much more a

That's not enough. You'd be trusting the compiler, the build environment, and believing that the hardware runs the binary code you expect. Tampering with the hardware is demonstrably easy, there are plenty of reports of people reflashing

pip didn't exist in 1991 though. CPAN got mature faster (and it has 120k modules), but such a comparison isn't satisfactory without a curve showing the yearly growth rate.

It's part of git/contrib. Depending on the packaging you still need to enable it manually.

He's not the only one working on this. But he doesn't have the skills to defend his ideas (it might be just communication skills, it might not). As it is he won't be able to make the big revolutionary step the patch was promising. If he had

I've started the thread on Linus's first reply, and the guy is completely unconvincing. He was after a quick feature improvement (I don't really know what but Linus seemed to) and implemented it, but he gave little thought to the overall de

It's also easy to get broken behaviour (on one site I use the url is updated without a new history entry, and even on GitHub the page sometimes gets desynced).

It's fast, but not conversations based; there's no threading at all that I can see, except a "replied" icon that isn't even an active link. It's a shame because conversations (unlike labels) don't require any protocol extension, thunderbir

Too bad. As I understand it that's because rebase relies on the patch format as the full representation of a commit; but that excludes the commit's notes. replacement refs and grafts survive it in squashed form because they are part of the

Would notes survive a rebase workflow? (not that the original tip's empty commit does, which is quite a flaw)
