Since we are talking about alternatives for markdown-in-fossil, you might remember my repeated mentions about integrating my [markdown library][libupskirt] into fossil. To be perfectly honest, I lost interest in the idea, and went for the generated embedded docs idea (same as what was previously said with AsciiDoc). Even though I still don't like putting generated stuff into the SCM, I find it to be a lesser evil compared to the risk of spectacular failure when embedding such complex code into fossil, especially with regard to security (since it's the same binary, a vulnerability in the markdown code can mean read/write access to at least the whole sqlite database). So my question is now, is there anybody willing to take it over, or do I just send it to the heaven for bits? For the record, I think the main pros my library still has over discount is legal stuff (I can hand over copyright of fossil's fork any time) and direct support from me. However these are probably not worth much if merge into official release is still not going to happen. Natacha [libupskirt]: http://fossil.instinctive.eu/libupskirt/index
