Dear all,

I have used Markdown via Drupal a few months now, with a customer site
and my currently my own blog and based on that practical experience I
wanted to add some extra functionality to PHP Markdown Extra, so out
of this grow my (extended) weekend project
https://github.com/egil/php-markdown-extra-extended

The big missing item right now that I would like to implement is the
ability to add classes to block and span elements. My basic idea is to
use a syntax like this: {some class}

    Adding classes & ids are kind of hideous.  What I did with discount
was to extend the []() syntax to allow class: and id: pseudo-classes
(like [postoffice](class:caps) or version [2.1.0](id:v2.1.0) on spans,
and then extended the blockquote syntax to allow them as well, via

>%class:smaller%
>stuff

or

>%id:label%
>more stuff

I tried to make up extensions that are visually not very obvious
(the other alternative -- floating {: words } after a block -- seems
a little too cluttery for me)
