Markdown 1.0.1 (18 KB) — 17 Dec 2004
Introduction
Markdown is a text-to-HTML conversion tool for web writers. Markdownallows you to write using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain textformat, then convert it to structurally valid XHTML (or HTML).
Thus, “Markdown” is two things: (1) a plain text formatting syntax;and (2) a software tool, written in Perl, that converts the plain textformatting to HTML. See the Syntax page for details pertaining toMarkdown’s formatting syntax. You can try it out, right now, using theonline Dingus.
The overriding design goal for Markdown’s formatting syntax is to makeit as readable as possible. The idea is that a Markdown-formatteddocument should be publishable as-is, as plain text, without lookinglike it’s been marked up with tags or formatting instructions. WhileMarkdown’s syntax has been influenced by several existing text-to-HTMLfilters, the single biggest source of inspiration for Markdown’ssyntax is the format of plain text email.

The best way to get a feel for Markdown’s formatting syntax is simplyto look at a Markdown-formatted document. For example, you can viewthe Markdown source for the article text on this page here:http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/index.text
(You can use this ‘.text’ suffix trick to view the Markdown source forthe content of each of the pages in this section, e.g. theSyntax and License pages.)
Markdown is free software, available under a BSD-style open sourcelicense. See the License page for more information.
Discussion List
I’ve set up a public mailing list for discussion about Markdown.Any topic related to Markdown — both its formatting syntax andits software — is fair game for discussion. Anyone who is interestedis welcome to join.
It’s my hope that the mailing list will lead to good ideas for futureimprovements to Markdown.
Installation and Requirements
Markdown requires Perl 5.6.0 or later. Welcome to the 21st Century.Markdown also requires the standard Perl library module Digest::MD5, which is probably already installed on your server.
Movable Type
![Netbeans 11 markdown Netbeans 11 markdown](/uploads/1/3/4/9/134921148/528453576.png)
Markdown works with Movable Type version 2.6 or later (includingMovable Type 3.0).
- Copy the “Markdown.pl” file into your Movable Type “plugins”directory. The “plugins” directory should be in the same directoryas “mt.cgi”; if the “plugins” directory doesn’t already exist, useyour FTP program to create it. Your installation should look likethis:
- Once installed, Markdown will appear as an option in Movable Type’sText Formatting pop-up menu. This is selectable on a per-post basis:Markdown translates your posts to HTML when you publish; the poststhemselves are stored in your MT database in Markdown format.
- If you also install SmartyPants 1.5 (or later), Markdown willoffer a second text formatting option: “Markdown WithSmartyPants”. This option is the same as the regular “Markdown”formatter, except that it automatically uses SmartyPants to createtypographically correct curly quotes, em-dashes, and ellipses. Seethe SmartyPants web page for more information.
- To make Markdown (or “Markdown With SmartyPants”) your defaulttext formatting option for new posts, go to Weblog Config:Preferences.
Note that by default, Markdown produces XHTML output. To configureMarkdown to produce HTML 4 output, see “Configuration”, below.
Blosxom
Markdown works with Blosxom version 2.0 or later.
- Rename the “Markdown.pl” plug-in to “Markdown” (case isimportant). Movable Type requires plug-ins to have a “.pl”extension; Blosxom forbids it.
- Copy the “Markdown” plug-in file to your Blosxom plug-ins folder.If you’re not sure where your Blosxom plug-ins folder is, see theBlosxom documentation for information.
- That’s it. The entries in your weblog will now automatically beprocessed by Markdown.
- If you’d like to apply Markdown formatting only to certainposts, rather than all of them, Markdown can optionally be used inconjunction with Blosxom’s Meta plug-in. First, install theMeta plug-in. Next, open the Markdown plug-in file in a texteditor, and set the configuration variable
$g_blosxom_use_meta
to 1. Then, simply include a “meta-markup: Markdown
” header lineat the top of each post you compose using Markdown.
BBEdit
Markdown works with BBEdit 6.1 or later on Mac OS X. It also workswith BBEdit 5.1 or later and MacPerl 5.6.1 on Mac OS 8.6 or later. Ifyou’re running Mac OS X 10.2 (Jaguar), you may need to install thePerl module Digest::MD5 from CPAN; Digest::MD5 comespre-installed on Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther).
- Copy the “Markdown.pl” file to appropriate filters folder in your“BBEdit Support” folder. On Mac OS X, this should be:See the BBEdit documentation for more details on the location ofthese folders.You can rename “Markdown.pl” to whatever you wish.
- That’s it. To use Markdown, select some text in a BBEdit document,then choose Markdown from the Filters sub-menu in the “#!” menu, orthe Filters floating palette
Configuration
By default, Markdown produces XHTML output for tags with empty elements.E.g.:
Markdown can be configured to produce HTML-style tags; e.g.:
Movable Type
You need to use a special
MTMarkdownOptions
container tag in eachMovable Type template where you want HTML 4-style output:The easiest way to use MTMarkdownOptions is probably to put theopening tag right after your
<body>
tag, and the closing tag rightbefore </body>
.To suppress Markdown processing in a particular template, i.e. topublish the raw Markdown-formatted text without translation into(X)HTML, set the
output
attribute to ‘raw’:Command-Line
Netbeans 11 Markdown
Use the
--html4tags
command-line switch to produce HTML output from aUnix-style command line. E.g.:Type
perldoc Markdown.pl
, or read the POD documentation within theMarkdown.pl source code for more information.Acknowledgements
Aaron Swartz deserves a tremendous amount of credit for his feedback on thedesign of Markdown’s formatting syntax. Markdown is much better thanksto Aaron’s ideas, feedback, and testing. Also, Aaron’s html2textis a very handy (and free) utility for turning HTML intoMarkdown-formatted plain text.
Nathaniel Irons, Dan Benjamin, Daniel Bogan, and Jason Perkinsalso deserve thanks for their feedback.
Netbeans Markdown Software
Michel Fortin has ported Markdown to PHP; it’s a splendid port, and highly recommended for anyone looking for a PHP implementation of Markdown.

Provide support for the RestructuredText syntax. This will allow users to more easily write documentation for their Python scripts.
Background and strategic fit
RestructuredText (RST for short) is a markup format aimed to be as complete as LaTeX while being easier to write and parse. It is the format used by default to write docstrings in Python file. The full documentation of Python projects are also very often written using this language and generated in HTML/PDF/… with the sphinx-doc tool (http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/stable/).
Currently, RST files are opened as Python files. Which means that the whole page is treated as a string (same yellow color for all text) and that the parser tries to validate it and thus reports syntax errors. This is bad for user experience and our users will most likely use another tool to edit their documentation files.
In order to improve NBPython, a basic support allowing the users to correctly edit RST files within NetBeans would be a good thing.
Assumptions
Requirements
Once RST support is good enough in its own module, we should clean the source of the other modules to all RST related code. Furthermore, this code doesn't seem to be of any use at this time.
In RST files
# | Title | User Story | Importance | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|
Provide syntax highlighting | When the user opens or edits a RST file, all markup is correctly highlighted. | Must Have | Done. See the code here: https://bitbucket.org/Jenselme/nb-contrib/commits/branch/rst or the subject in the forum: http://forums.nbpython.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=139&p=723 | |
Provide spellchecking | When the user opens or edits words of the document are checked for spelling to avoid silly mistakes in the file. | Must Have | Done. | |
Provide editing helpers |
| Must Have |
| |
Provide hierarchical navigation with section titles in the navigator | When the user wants to navigate in a big file, the user can just use the navigator to avoid too much scrolling. | Good to have | ||
Provide templates for directive | When the user inserts a directive, we provide a template that allows the user to easily edit the properties of this directive. | Good to have | ||
Provide a list of inserted references | When the user wants to navigate to a specific reference, the user can use the navigator to go to them. | Good to have | ||
Provide a way to follow inserted references | Allow the use to CTRL+Click on a reference to go to its definition. | Good to have | Future release. For it to work correctly, we need to scan all RST files of the project to find all the references. | |
Provide a preview | Allow the user to preview the result of the document in HTML format. | Good to have | Future release.
| |
Provide an helper to insert table | When the user wants to insert a table, a very specific syntax needs to be respected. This syntax is tedious to fellow manually. The user will want a way to specify a number of line and column in order for NBPython to automatically insert the appropriate table. When the user edits a table (adds/removes lines or columns, or adds text in a cell), the table must be automatically updated. | Nice to have | See https://rest-sphinx-memo.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ReST.html#tables to take a look at how tables needs to be formatted. This could be similar to table-insert in emacs: http://ergoemacs.org/emacs/emacs_table.html |
In Python files
This will most likely be in a future release.
# | Title | User Story | Importance | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|
Provide syntax highlighting | When the user create a docstring identified by three quotes '', the text inside this string is highlighted depending on the RST rules. | Good to have | ||
Provide spellchecking | When the user create a docstring identified by three quotes '', the text inside this string is given to the spellchecker for verification. | Good to have | Is it possible to use the spellchecker within code files without interfering with the code? |

Notes on the implementation
RST support is handled in its own module:
python.rst
. It was added thanks to the JavaCC Lexer Generator Integration Tutorial for the NetBeans Platform and JavaCC Parser Generator Integration Tutorial for the NetBeans Platform tutorials. Some adaptations were made in order to be consistent with the Python lexer and parser.How to add an element to the lexer
- Add a new token kind and token category in
python.rst/src/org/netbeans/modules/python/rst/parser/RstTokenKind.java
if none of the existing correspond to what you need to add. The text of the category is important since it is this text that will be used to colourize the token. If you add a new kind or category, don't forget to:- Add a
RstTokenId
in theRstLanguageHierarchy
(inpython.rst/src/org/netbeans/modules/python/rst/parser/RstLanguageHierarchy.java
). The list is created in theinit
method. - Add the proper colour in
python.rst/src/org/netbeans/modules/python/rst/FontAndColors.xml.
You must use the name of the category to colourize the token. So all kinds in the same category are colourize the same way. A category can only appear once in this document. - Associate the new category to a human readable text in
python.rst/src/org/netbeans/modules/python/rst/Bundle.properties
. For instance, for theSTRONG_EMPHASIS
category, the associationSTRONG_EMPHASIS=Strong Emphasis
. This text will be used in the options.
- Add a
- Add the proper lexing logic in
python.rst/src/org/netbeans/modules/python/rst/parser/RstLexer.java
to create the token from the source code. Take inspiration from the existing methods to learn how to do that.
