Cool, that's a much smaller list that I expected. Thanks for looking into this.
...the biggest problem seems to be parsing lists, for instance lists with a "large" indent like " * item 1" which markdown parses as a
<pre><code> block or using lists but using '-' or 'o' etc. instead of '*', so markdown again fails to parse them as lists (I also assume it'll fail to parse • too).
Yes, I think we just need to standardize. Most packages I've seen fall into the "already work" camp.
I'm actually somewhat impressed by how well it does, but it still requires a change in behaviour for a known tag ... and obviously doesn't work anywhere near as well as what we have in yum (which just does wrapping).
Right, I too am impressed with markdown. I've written a GObject for gnome-packagekit that decodes markdown to pango or text output in a simple fast pass.
Not quite. For instance:
msg = """\ If you follow what x% of other people are doing and do:
- lists
- that
- most
- people
- use
Then it'll just work. """
msg = """\ If you follow what y% of other people are doing and do:
- lists
- that
- most
- people
- use
Then it'll just fail.
Ahh, my simple markup parser is a bit more tolerant to this and formats the bullets correctly.
