Works nice here

2004 and never heard talking about this language :shock:

Yesterday "*..ofx" a format for bank account, today "*.md" this light format....
Nearly all the day i can learn a "new" format od numerous years old :oops:

Thanks for sharing and to have taught me the existence of this old extension

In reasonable note apps (such as Joplin) MarkDown is standard.
But only now I realized what MarkDown can do (extended syntax).

Happy New Years Thorsten

Found a small error.. Program does not return properly after pressing the 'HTML' (Button) button...

Code:

            Case #Button4
             CompilerIf Defined(PDF, #PB_Module) ; added
               MarkDown::Export(#MarkDown, MarkDown::#HTML, "Export.htm", "PDF")
               RunProgram("Export.htm")
             CompilerEndIf ; added
          EndSelect

Best wishes for the new decade.

That doesn't really make sense. HTML does not need the PDF module.

Ahhh...
I see what's going on now...

The example program does not re-gain focus after pressing one of the buttons, the program runs and hides behind the PureBasic IDE (which is still running)

If I only minimize the PDF or the WEB page (Chrome in my case), I cannot view the running EXE.

But...If I kill Chrome or the PDF program, everything displays correctly.

The confusing part... there is no icon on my taskbar that shows the running program, so I assumed the program did not exit properly.

You need to get rid of the #PB_Window_Tool flag, then you will see it again in the task bar.

Update:

Added: Definition List
Added: Code Blocks / Fenced Code Blocks

After I found a specification for MarkDown, I completely rewrote the parser to achieve the greatest possible compatibility.

Added: Reference link
Added: Highlight
Added: new emojis ( :bookMark: / :date: / :mail: / :memo: / :pencil: / :phone: )

Thorsten1867 · **Posted:** Mon Jan 20, 2020 2:27 pm

To realize all features, I had to change the internal structure of the parser completely.

Inline emphasis for lists, tables, footnotes, ...
Abbreviations "*[HTML]: Hypertext Markup Language"
Keystrokes "[[Ctrl]] [[C]]"

Thorsten1867 · **Posted:** Mon Jan 20, 2020 6:03 pm

Update:

Emphasis (bold/italic) for links, autolinks, strikethrough and highlight
PDF task list with images for checkboxes

Markdown - Editor

As a supplement to the module and as an application example a Markdown - Editor.
(Most formatting is available as a pop-up menu.)
