Also being written in PHP makes it very easily extensible with custom modules, and secure because - running inside the Zend scripting engine - it's immune to a number of common security threats (format strings, buffer overflows, ...).

the lovely thing about markdown is the total lack of a standard for it. i thought fatwood was gonna fix that, what happened :smith:

no, it's an informal description that leaves all the interesting (from the standpoint of a proper implementation that is not some perl regex bullshit) details un- or underspecified.

edit: i.e. where's the loving grammar

for what markdown is that is a totally sufficient standard.

the real problem with markdown is that it completely sucks a dick whenever you try and do something beyond the absolute basics with it i.e. put a code block in a list

markdown is designed for wiki/forum markup so idk why it would need a standard. just put a mark down link next to the entry field like the bbcode link on these very forums.

however, the markdown reference implementation which is as close to a formal spec as you're going to get is built on them, because perl. and that is precisely why "the absolute basics" like nested structures suck dick, i.e. you can't rely on whatever implementation you have supporting them. regular expressions are incapable of expressing these structures and without any other spec everyone is at best left guessing what's supposed to be what...

you literally cannot see the connection between "it doesn't specify an actual grammar" and "it breaks whenever you try to do anything nontrivial"
