[Python-markdown-discuss] enabling a subset of markdown

[Ian G. J. <ia...@ho...>]

Hey folks,

I want to disable all of markdown by default and only enable certain 
features, whitelist style. Here's what I've got so far (trying to enable 
links only):


     class MyMarkdownExtension(markdown.Extension):
     
         def extendMarkdown(self, md, md_globals):
             for i in md.inlinePatterns.keys():
                 if i != 'link':
                     del md.inlinePatterns[i]

The next step is to do the work to disable the other parts of 
python-markdown besides inlinePatters, but before I do that I wanted to 
ask if I'm on the right track, or if there's a better way to do this.

Thanks!

Ian
