Let's dedicate a page for linking to as many markdown implementations as we can #1
Comments
Good idea. There must be an existing list we can use as a starting point. |
The most comprehensive list I know of is on wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Markdown_implementations Although, that list includes more than just implementations. It also looks like it includes editors and other tools that use some of the implementations. We can do much better I'm sure. |
I made a pull request with some implementations... but I thought implementations meant like Github and SO... so I added another subheading called "Libraries" which lists all the libraries that parse markdown. But this would be better on its own page. |
A page exists in the wiki: https://github.com/markdown/markdown.github.com/wiki/Implementations |
Wow that is a pretty exhaustive list. |
I think it would be pretty easy to have on the website, it just means that one would have to fork the repo, edit the implementations.md file on Github then do a pull request. Shouldn't be too hard. I'm guessing the contributors to this project are going to people with experience with development and Github anyways. |
Hyperlink to the web pages for each implementation.
For each implementation, link to the documentation for its supported syntax. These are often hard for normal users to find, and confusion abounds when people are unaware that markdown is diffused through several implementations, not one single standard.
Include a basic table of features supported.
Include a bullet list of markdown users (e.g. GitHub, Stack Overflow), and which implementation and version they use.
