  • RFC: A Simple Markdown Table Format

    https://justatheory.com/2009/02/markdown-table-rfc/

    I’ve been thinking about markdown tables a bit lately. I’ve had in mind to follow up on my definition list proposal with a second proposal for the creation and editing of simple tables in Markdown. For better or for worse, an aside on the markdown-discuss mail list led to a longish thread about a syntax for continuing lines in tables (not to mention a long aside on the use of monospaced fonts, but I digress), wherein I realized, after an open-minded post from MultiMarkdown’s Fletcher Penney, that I needed to set to working up this request for comments sooner rather than later.

  • POC: PGXN Binary Distribution Format
