I use markdown because there are great javascript implementations (like marked <https://github.com/chjj/marked>) I can use with ractive to render parts of the template where I use it. To be honest I would still use markdown even with a javascript markmin implementation because people already use markdown in reddit, github, stackoverflow, etc. It has just became the standard and it makes sense to me that if I'm going to make my users learn a markup language that it is also useful elsewhere.
My use case for markmin is in the backoffice due to how easy it is to extend, mainly, I can make custom tags that inject content into the generated HTML. This is very powerful as you can use it like wordpress shortcodes. For instance, you could create this extension ``product_code image_size="large" region="US"``:amazon that would put amazon products with your affiliate into the generated html. This would not be possible or quite hard with a javascript implementation. -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
