NAME

Markdent::Dialect::Theory - Markdown extensions proposed by David Wheeler (aka Theory)

SYNOPSIS

  use Markdent::Parser;

  my $parser = Markdent::Parser->new( dialect => 'Theory', handler => ... );

DESCRIPTION

This class adds parsing for Markdown extensions proposed by David Wheeler (aka Theory). See http://justatheory.com/computers/markup/markdown-table-rfc.html and http://justatheory.com/computers/markup/modest-markdown-proposal.html for details.

DEVIATIONS

The dialect differs from David Wheeler's proposals in a couple ways:

  • Currently it just does tables, not definition lists. This will be fixed in a future release.

  • Table continuation lines are expected to have the same number of cells as the line being continued. In other words, this doesn't work:

     | cell1 | cell2     |
             : continues

    Instead, you must write this:

     | cell1 | cell2     |
     :       : continues :

    This may be corrected in a future release.

BUGS

See Markdent for bug reporting details.
