From ec46692cf5c4d5e22950bc8e7d14cb0ec327fb87 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Waylan Limberg Date: Wed, 7 Mar 2012 09:35:40 -0500 Subject: 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. --- docs/extensions/sane_lists.txt | 81 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 81 insertions(+) create mode 100644 docs/extensions/sane_lists.txt (limited to 'docs/extensions/sane_lists.txt') diff --git a/docs/extensions/sane_lists.txt b/docs/extensions/sane_lists.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..e6c73f4 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/extensions/sane_lists.txt @@ -0,0 +1,81 @@ +title: Sane Lists Extension +prev_title: RSS Extension +prev_url: rss.html +next_title: Table of Contents Extension +next_url: toc.html + +Sane Lists +========== + +Summary +------- + +The Sane Lists Extension alters the behavior of the Markdown List syntax +to be less surprising. + +This extension is included in the standard Markdown library. + +Syntax +------ + +Sane Lists do not allow the mixing of list types. In other words, an ordered +list will not continue when an unordered list item is encountered and +vice versa. For example: + + 1. Ordered item 1 + 2. Ordered item 2 + + * Unordered item 1 + * Unordered item 2 + +will result in the following output: + +
    +
  1. Ordered item 1
  2. +
  3. Ordered item 2
  4. +
+ + + +Whereas the default Markdown behavior would be to generate an unordered list. + +Note that, unlike the default Markdown behavior, if a blank line is not +included between list items, the different list type is ignored completely. +This corresponds to the behavior of paragraphs. For example: + + A Paragraph. + * Not a list item. + + 1. Ordered list item. + * Not a separate list item. + +With this extension the above will result in the following output: + +

A Paragraph. + * Not a list item.

+ +
    +
  1. Ordered list item. + * Not a separate list item.
  2. +
+ +In all other ways, Sane Lists should behave as normal Markdown lists. + +Usage +----- + +From the Python interpreter: + + >>> html = markdown.markdown(text, ['sane_lists']) + +To use with other extensions, just add them to the list, like this: + + >>> html = markdown.markdown(text, ['def_list', 'sane_lists']) + +The extension can also be called from the command line using Markdown's `-x` +parameter: + + python -m markdown -x sane_lists source.txt > output.html -- cgit v1.2.3
