Re: [xwiki-users] [xwiki-devs] [Idea] Make Markdown syntax available as an optional subset of the XWiki 2.1 syntax
I'm trying to find "comparable tools" that we could document there as being comparable experiences that users might have met already. I do not see any yet (Confluence and Jenkins seem to have pedgown as an option, that's the only similarity I find). So... this is "just another extended markdown" ? Caleb, did you have something more pangalactic in mind? Paul vincent@massol.net wrote:

I had just imagined an extension to the markdown standard, not sure exactly how macros ought to be implemented... One possibility: <?velocity({output: false}) $doc.getFullName() ?> or <?html({clean:false, wiki:false}) <div></div> ?> Thanks, Caleb On 27/11/15 14:28, Paul Libbrecht wrote:

<?html({clean:false, wiki:false}) <div></div> ?> Hey, that is very "standard" in the sense of PHP-ish. I like it but I am sure it can clash heavily somewhere.
Another proposal is here: https://github.com/codingcoop/markdown-macros More compact... thus less portable... Paul

Can you explain why you’re trying to do something that’s already implemented? You don’t like our current implementation? Thanks -Vincent

That’ s not possible. There’s no Markdown standard. It’s been discussed at length with its creator and he explicitly said he didn’t want a standard. There were big fights over the internet on this topic :) Would need to find the thread. I read it a while ago.

The point is not to use someone else's code or even to duplicate the logic to a perfect binary-compatible tee, the point is to be "standard enough" that it's familiar to people who come in from Github, StackOverflow, Slack, Reddit etc. The php-inspired macro idea is another attempt at making it more familiar to people and thus more intuitive.
