NAME

Markdent::Dialect::GitHub - Markdown extensions implemented on GitHub

SYNOPSIS

  use Markdent::Parser;

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

DESCRIPTION

The GitHub roles add parsing for some of the Markdown extensions used on GitHub. See http://github.github.com/github-flavored-markdown/ for details.

DEVIATIONS

The dialect differs from the GitHub implementation in a few ways.

  • It doesn't yet implement the newline handling that GitHub specifies.

  • It does not implement the GitHub specific auto-linking for SHAs, users, or projects. This is intentional.

IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS

When the start of a fenced code block includes a language indicator (```perl), the HTML output will include that language as part of a class name on the <code> tag:

  <pre><code class="language-perl">...</code></pre>

BUGS

See Markdent for bug reporting details.
