It rocks.
I very much agree with the sentiment that standardisation is highly desirable. I have observed the lengthy battles over the original Markdown format, having been a long-time subscriber to the markdown-discuss mailing list in the past (I left in 2011). Creole, which I'd never encountered before, looks a fine markup, not hugely different from MediaWiki markup at first glance. I'm sure we could deal with it if people were to submit it. For example I found the Perl module Text::WikiCreole after a brief search. I assume there are plenty of other creole processors out there. However, I note that Markdown seems to be moving towards standardisation. There is currently an IETF draft document which I assume could result in a standard and the establishment of the media type 'text/markdown'. I'm not clear if this activity will result in clear definition of the format or merely recognition of the variants, but it feels like some sort of progress. https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-appsawg-text-markdown/ Dave -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJV8yjgAAoJEEglyQpFdYohpKcP/1LDhNpO/2egNKCwg/QyZupU Gblsfl0Nk+RhWPzDG5iR3g+mqTpxXwdg8vdBo8e3mBU6eEK3nsfG4GvUyH/F03jO 5S6Y/luLOYjhws1yecWBrBIBIo5nVrtStkhrVB+j9NCfqzjBcf2xFWkOr2UfriTO NMtDMxycmJ4YhGYlWkClCxV3sVNGJHCLWjMeeRfA5o+WMZmZx1rLOHmyrpLml7+K X4r4W5ePFXej26jJj8jgaN2PQK9NvTS8LTBNBG54/CvU9op8VlsIaQIZ0vph74TV gJTtmsAx96B0edQcFdSNA+BB4w/ORq2KxvA5dU8wstBSc8H78emhtuJKg5w0dRLO gvI+62bkeTvEy3vmgOyIDlpiIXi4mJRsFeTV4mhapduCU0XifPi+9kKqOO5UI9Gf SlAJqklq88pKfWn9h9PwAuDbNe2vh8Gdj74D3NMMgz63qTtWfsL8daUa7IQCDk/D ka/5uI6N08ZXEU44LpEyF+qKbaMFvGIdoH1n3sA2J+6UOAeyPnuvlmpfiSjhPDD4 TbQ0y073sVUawcMkas4cUwy9eCaxwChuqnxuIxywYF3vjv38/jvAKiaG+21Yp+vd Wp11AvDbSlGypa3XzMlu6oYQkXQIdFD1S3TvuqzKHR9Dmj8gQqLcOCfvolckuR98 IluMvJFwDbp/98eZQxRI =O3dz -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Hpr mailing list [email protected] http://hackerpublicradio.org/mailman/listinfo/hpr_hackerpublicradio.org
