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.
Richard.
