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.
This is really totally awesome :)
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.
I should be able to do all (or at least most of) the above, can I get
a copy of the code (or access to the source control where it's
located?).
It would be interesting to be able to track 'should be like'
implementations (for me, especially) - what would be good is some
system that emailed me 'aggh' emails every time someone typed
something and Text::Markdown was different to Markdown.pl.. However
that would be trivially easy to spam me with, so might need some
careful thought. ;)
