[Python-markdown-discuss] Announcing Definition List Extension - call for testing

[Waylan L. <wa...@gm...>]

I'm happy to report that I just pushed a Definition List extension [1]
to the repo. I know this has been one of the most requested
extensions. After Yuri's refactor of the core into a separate
MarkdownParser, it was much easier to do.

I haven't written docs for it yet, but I have included tests [2],
which show how it works. See PHP Markdown Extra's docs [3] for the
hows and whys. Other than the included tests, I haven't really tested
it much, so please run it through the paces. I'd like to say we have
everything PHP Markdown Extra has when we release 2.0 and this was the
biggest hurdle. Now we just need to wrap up the edge cases I'm sure I
missed.

Any bug reports, patches, test cases, comments, and criticisms are welcome.

ps: I believe the only other things we're missing from extra are
abbreviations and markdown inside html. If I'm wrong, let me know and
I'll add it to my todo list. I have an old abbreviations extension
which needs to be refactored to run with the many recent changes to
markdown. I haven't even looked at markdown inside html yet.
