your other page, gerard, gave a nod to other forms of light-markup, including restructured-text, asciidoc, textile, etc. so i'm unclear if this page now means "markdown" in the john-gruber sense, or a more-generic "light-markup" way. because project gutenberg was using light-markup -- i.e., a structured form of plain-text -- since its start in 1976... the "structure" was often a bit wobbly, as you would expect, given progress -- the earliest e-texts had no lower-case, originating on key-punch machines -- and it was only lightly "enforced" upon volunteers who comprise the project, and it was terribly inconsistent as well; _but_ it was solid enough, advanced enough, and consistent enough, that i used it as the foundation for my z.m.l., a light-markup that _targets_ long-form. so, you know... if you want examples, project gutenberg has 40,000-50,000. -bowerbird p.s. leanpub.com has a bunch as well. and the guys over there are, right now, developing "markua", their own flavor of markdown/light-markup for long-form... p.p.s. columbus didn't discover america. p.p.p.s. https://github.com/rhythmus/markdown-resources _______________________________________________ Markdown-Discuss mailing list Markdown-Discuss@six.pairlist.net https://pairlist6.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/markdown-discuss
