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.
