Any reason for including Text::MultiMarkdown and not the official MultiMarkdown itself? It would be useful for finding any areas where the two versions differ from each other, in addition to where MMD differs from other implementations.

This looks like a fantastic tool, in either case - thanks for sharing it.

I'm currently attempting to write a spec for parsing Markdown Extra, and since one goal is to minimize the differences in output between implementations, I've made a tool allowing me to compare who does what for any given input. I hope this can also facilitate future discussions about the syntax.

So here's Babelmark, a testbed for various Markdown implementations were you give the input and you get the HTML output for Markdown.pl 1.0.1 and 1.0.2b8, PHP Markdown and PHP Markdown Extra, Python Markdown, Text::Markdown and Text::MultiMarkdown, and finally Showdown.

Unfortunatly, my web host doesn't do Ruby, nor Java, C# or Lua, so the online version is missing a couple of interesting implementations. Locally on my computer Babelmark also do BlueCloth, Maruku, MarkdownJ, markdown.lua, and Pandoc. I'm very sorry if your Markdown implementation can't be part of Babelmark online, but if anyone has a better host to offer for Babelmark, ideally with support for all of these, I'd gladly send him the scripts.

You can find Babelmark here:

<http://michelf.com/projects/babelmark/>

Also note that, contrary to the normal Markdown or PHP Markdown dingus, you can bookmark specific tests since the input string is encoded in the URI. Here are some interesting cases for instance:

<http://michelf.com/projects/babelmark/?markdown=_test_test_test_>
<http://michelf.com/projects/babelmark/?markdown=*test+%5Btest*+test%5D%28%23%29 > <http://michelf.com/projects/babelmark/?markdown=%5Btest%5D%0D%0A%0D%0A%5Btest%5D%3A+%23 >

So that's it. Have fun with it.
