markdown_attribute

markdown_attribute

[Jan Ulrich Hasecke]

Hi,

I want to understand this snippet in the documentation:

"""
markdown_attribute

By default, pandoc interprets material inside block-level tags as
markdown. This extension changes the behavior so that markdown is only
parsed inside block-level tags if the tags have the attribute markdown=1.
"""

When I use it like this:

pandoc -f markdown+markdown_attribute test.md -s -o test.html

Markdown in a table-tag is not interpreted. Fine.

But where can I set the attribute markdown=1 to have it interpreted?

This does not work:

<table markdown=1>
   <tr>
      <td>*Geranien*</td>
      <td>[Tulpen](http://www.example.com)</td>
   </tr>
</table>

TIA
juh

Those extensions, I believe, are markdown syntax extensions---so they
wouldn't work reading html.

Maybe you're right. Obviously I don't understand the documentation. So
what would be a typical use case?

You need to set the attribute on the block-level tag containing
the markdown.  Here's that's the td tags.

I tried that, but without success.

<table>
    <tr>
         <td markdown=1>*Geranien*</td>
         <td markdown="1">[Tulpen](http://www.example.com)</td>
    </tr>
</table>

With quotes without quotes, nothing.

I am using
pandoc 1.12.4.2

Try putting the attribute on the tr and table as well.
I believe the way it works is this:  if you hit a block-level tag
without the attribute, then the whole contents of the tag are parsed
as HTML.  (That includes any interior tags, whether or not they have
markdown=1.)

Ah, polluting every tag with markdown=1 did the job.

Thanks!

That's rather counter-intuitive. I would also have expected that
everything below a block level tag with markdown=1 would
'inherit' the positive value. Why not make it so and then make
markdown=0 significant so that one can turn the feature off
further down? I guess you could keep a stack with values for
'markdownness' at the different nesting levels (as in the
comments below).

    <table markdown=1>                                  <!-- [1] -->
        <tr>                                            <!-- [1, 1] -->
            <td>*This* is markdown</td>                 <!-- [1, 1, 1] -->
            <td markdown=0>This is *not* markdown</td>  <!-- [1, 1, 0] -->
        </tr>
    </table>

Well, it turns out this IS the way it works in PHP Markdown Extra
and multimarkdown.  And since the point of the extension is to
allow conversion between these formats, I should do it this way,
too.

It would be helpful if someone could put an issue up on the tracker
so I don't forget.
