Djot is a light markup syntax. It derives most of its features from commonmark, but it fixes a few things that make commonmark's syntax complex and difficult to parse efficiently. It is also much fuller-featured than commonmark, with support for definition lists, footnotes, tables, several new kinds of inline formatting (insert, delete, highlight, superscript, subscript), math, smart punctuation, attributes that can be applied to any element, and generic containers for block-level, inline-level, and raw content. The project began as an attempt to implement some of the ideas I suggested in Beyond Markdown.
Features
- Parse djot markup in linear time, with no backtracking
- Parsing of inline elements is "local" and does not depend on what references are defined later
- Documentation available
- The extension .dj may be used to indicate that the contents of a file are djot-formatted text
- The code and documentation are released under the MIT license
- Implementations in JavaScript, Lua, Prolog, Rust
