Hi,
This looks interesting. I'll look more closely in a little while --
I've got a queue to clear first.
FWIW, <http://projects.folklogic.net/tartan/pages/Home+Page> works
but <http://tartan.folklogic.net> appears not to.
Cheers,
Bob

Hi all,
I'd like to introduce you to the Tartan project
(http://tartan.folklogic.net) and get your feedback. It's a Ruby
based
wiki text parser with the following goals:
1. handle more then one wiki markup but start with Markdown
2. allow mixing-in of markup rules (eg. Markdown + smartypants +
tables + wiki links; each as a separate definition)
3. tests and rule definitions written in a programming language
neutral format (YAML)
4. support more than one programming language implementation using
the same rules and tests
The parser is at version 0.2.0 and currently provides a workable
Markdown parser and test set. The current Markdown rule set was
developed somewhat in isolation and would benefit significantly from a
review of the perl, javascript and PHP implementations and doesn't
currently handle some "hard" parsing cases.
You can get the source code from RubyForge --
http://rubyforge.org/projects/tartan/. You can either download the
tarball or use subversion to get the most recent code.
As for how well we've met our goals so far, goals 2 and 3 are met
pretty
well and are used extensively in the Informl project (see
http://informl.folklogic.net). For 1, we've started in on Textile,
but
there's nothing significant there yet and for 4 we haven't done much,
but Javascript would probably be our next language of choice to do
client side parsing.
I guess I'd like to know if people on the list think the goals are
interesting in other contexts and whether having a language neutral
set
of tests or rules can be leveraged in other projects.
