I despise what you've done with Text::Markdown, which is to more
or less make it an alias for MultiMarkdown, almost every part of
which I disagree with in terms of syntax additions.
Wow, that's pretty strong language. I'm glad I'm provoking strong
opinions, and it's nice to see you actively contributing to
Markdown's direction ;)
It’s harsh but reasonable language in my opinion. If you are going
to make something which is not Markdown (i.e. has other bits of
syntax not specified in John's description of that language), then
you should call it by a name other than “Markdown”.
Text::Markdown, as stated several times previously on the list *does
not* have any additional syntax, it behaves *just like* original
brand Markdown. I *am not* dressing up mutton and calling it lamb...
So sorry - but you've got totally the wrong end of the stick here.
The internals of how this is implemented currently leave a lot to be
desired - i.e. it's basically something which extends Markdown
(Text::MultiMarkdown), with all the extra features turned off, and
that, I believe was John's objection.
This is in the process of being fixed currently, and a new version
which fixes the non user visible, internal code layout issues should
be going up within the next week or so.
Cheers
Tom
