Rename docs/*.md => docs/*.txt
The documentation uses features of Python-Markdown that are not supported on
GitHub and it's better to get a source view of the docs anyway. For example,
that way comments and bug reports can reference a specific line of a file.
Of course, it makes sense for Github to render the README, so that is left
with the `.md` file extension.

This extension has +been included with Python-Markdown since 1.7 and should be available to anyone +who has a typical install of Python-Markdown. + +Syntax +------ + +Python-Markdown's Footnote syntax follows the generally accepted syntax of the +Markdown community at large and almost exactly matches [PHP Markdown Extra][]'s +implementation of footnotes. The only differences involve a few subtleties in +the output. + +[PHP Markdown Extra]: http://michelf.com/projects/php-markdown/extra/#footnotes + +Example: + + Footnotes[^1] have a label[^label] and a definition[^!DEF]. + + [^1]: This is a footnote + [^label]: A footnote on "label" + [^!DEF]: The definition of a footnote. + +A footnote definition may contain multiple lines, paragraphs, code blocks, +blockquotes and most any other markdown syntax. The additional line simply +must be indented at least an additional four spaces. + + [^1]: The first paragraph of the definition. + + Paragraph two of the definition. + + > A blockquote with + > multiple lines. + + a code block + + A final paragraph. + +By default, the footnote definitions are placed at the end of the resulting +HTML document. However, you may want the footnotes in another location within +the document. Simply place the following text at that location within your +markdown document (See how to configure this text below): + + ///Footnotes Go Here/// + +Usage +----- + +From the Python interpreter: + + >>> html = markdown.markdown(text, ['footnotes']) + +To configure the place marker for footnote definitions (just be sure not to +use any existing markdown syntax): + + >>> html = markdown.markdown(text, ['footnotes(PLACE_MARKER=+++my marker+++)']) + |
