Hi James I think I miss some things because there's no clear specification. I still feel like your regexp could be lighter, or porbably split in several.

To me, the best idea in Markdown is to use shorter delimiters for simplest/most common tags (like * * for bold, ** ** for italic, # for title) : quicker to write, clearer to read (no big markup in simple text blocks). Images and links are both supported, as well as embedding raw HTML. About the ilink / xlink functions, my approach would be to have only one function for handling links, and use a custom href syntax. For example : link=url would link to an absolute url, and link=p:page_name would link to the named page. Like this, you can more easily extend the syntax (img:image_name to link an image, file:file_name for files, youtube:youtube_id, whatever). Btw, using a "protocol:" prefix makes it look more like standard urls. The goal (once again) is to split the regexp to have one for retrieving tags, and then other regexps for interpreting them. Like this, the regexps will likely be simpler, faster, and easier to extend. In general, using several simple regexp is better than using a single big one, IMHO. >>my suggestion for a lighter regexp (untested) : >>$pattern = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]([^=]*)=([^=]*)[EMAIL PROTECTED]"; >>$replaces = array(); >>if(preg_match_all($pattern,$str,$matches)){ >> for($i=0;$i<count($matches[0]);$i++){ >> $full_tag = $matches[0][$i]; >> $command = $matches[1][$i]; >> $argument = $matches[2][$i]; >> $replaces[$full_tag] = my_html_generator($command,$argument); >> } >> $output = strtr($str,$replaces); // there's probably a faster way by >>using PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE >>} >> > > quick test of your regex: > http://www.jwm-art.net/test2.php > > doesn't look like it works enough for what i want: > > @=b=bold text=@ is determined as an at-tag > @= and =@ is not an at-tag, just printable > <p>will display '<p>' ( <p> ), not create the <p> element > > @=b=bold text with @=i=italic=@ also=@ > splits as: > 1 an at tag: @=b=bold text with @=i=italic=@ > 2 just text: also=@ > > correct form: > @[EMAIL PROTECTED] syntax for bold, @=i=embedding italic=@ within [EMAIL > PROTECTED]@ > > (ie no recursive tag detection - shudder) You're right I didn't get you could nest tags like this, or have @=b=@ tags. Once again I think you should write a clear specification so that you're sure you don't get conflicts or inconsistencies later, and you know exactly what is an expected behaviour and what is a bug. > @=br=@ creates <br> element > @=raw=whatever raw html you want=@ > @[EMAIL PROTECTED]@ > ( ie @=\= is like an escape sequence for preserving at-tag as text ) > > > > my previous test.php script now displays my at-tags splitting function > code. if you want a quick look, scroll down to bottom of page: > http://www.jwm-art.net/test.php > >>Regexp are so cool.
