[Python-markdown-discuss] extensions for python markdown

[AL <new...@al...>]

Hi,

I'd like to announce the release of a couple of extensions we've been 
working on since last year. I finally took time to release them today. 
They were developed in the context of [Active 
Archives](http://activearchives.org/), a research project about the 
practice of archiving in cultural institutions. Maybe they can benefit 
to the community...

mdx_cite
--------
An extension to support the <cite> tag

- <http://git.constantvzw.org/?p=aa.mdx_cite.git;a=tree>
- <https://github.com/aleray/mdx_cite>
- <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/mdx_cite/1.0>

     >>> import markdown
     >>> src = '"""Who Is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe?""" is the 
last movie I watched.'
     >>> html = markdown.markdown(src, ['cite'])
     >>> print(html)
     <p><cite>Who Is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe?</cite> is the 
last movie I watched.</p>

mdx_del_ins
-----------

An extension to support the <del> and <ins> tags

- <http://git.constantvzw.org/?p=aa.mdx_del_ins.git;a=tree>
- <https://github.com/aleray/mdx_del_ins>
- <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/mdx_del_ins/1.0>

     >>> import markdown
     >>> src = """This is ++added content++ and this is ~~deleted 
content~~"""
     >>> html = markdown.markdown(src, ['del_ins'])
     >>> print(html)
     <p>This is <ins>added content</ins> and this is <del>deleted 
content</del>
     </p>

mdx_outline
-----------

An extension to wrap the document logical sections (as implied by h1-h6 
headings)

- <http://git.constantvzw.org/?p=aa.mdx_outline.git;a=tree>
- <https://github.com/aleray/mdx_outline>
- <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/mdx_outline/1.0>

This is a rewrite of the mdx_addsection extension we've written for 
active archives. The first version had a bug with non hierachical 
heading structures. This is no longer a problem: a couple of weeks ago, 
Jesse Dhillon pushed to github a similar plugin which fixes the problem. 
Thanks to him, mdx_outline no longer has the problem.

     >>> import markdown
     >>> src = """
     ... # 1
     ... Section 1
     ... ## 1.1
     ... Subsection 1.1
     ... ## 1.2
     ... Subsection 1.2
     ... ### 1.2.1
     ... Hey 1.2.1 Special section
     ... ### 1.2.2
     ... #### 1.2.2.1
     ... # 2
     ... Section 2
     ... """.strip()
     >>> html = markdown.markdown(src, ['sections'])
     >>> print(html)
     <section class="section1"><h1>1</h1>
     <p>Section 1</p>
     <section class="section2"><h2>1.1</h2>
     <p>Subsection 1.1</p>
     </section><section class="section2"><h2>1.2</h2>
     <p>Subsection 1.2</p>
     <section class="section3"><h3>1.2.1</h3>
     <p>Hey 1.2.1 Special section</p>
     </section><section class="section3"><h3>1.2.2</h3>
     <section class="section4"><h4>1.2.2.1</h4>

     >>> import markdown

computation."
