Markdown and Smarty Pants

Yup Smarty does the quotes and markdown does the xhtml.

Just to get things straight: how / where should i tell the system to use markypants? I can click the “edit list” with field formatting options, but there’s no ability to add a type …

Thanks.

(Btw, the 3 names in the pi-manager are all “MarkyPants”, their URLS act as normal … )

when you click ‘edit list’ markypants should show up there. i would try deleting all three of the plugins and check the pi-manager. do they still appear? once they no longer show up in the pi-manager add them again. It sounds like you have some legacy code in there somewhere.

Does this mean when i alter xhtml it changes everywhere (like a standard profile), or is this a ‘per field’ option?

It works now, i tried your option, but then smartypants and markypants were both named markypants. I deleted those two, uploaded smartypants, refreshed the pi-manager, and then uploaded markypants. Now it looks as it should.

About the MarkyPants configuration: should i only set MarkyPants to yes, or e.g. leave auto < br / > to yes … ?

Thanks.

If you’re talking about in the “formatting” list then, when you set markypants to yes it should just show up as an option, alongside xhtml, completely independent.

you can leave br and xhtml to yes if you still want them to show up as available formatting options, usually i’ll turn xhtml off in favor of markypants.

let me clarify

completely independent

that meant that it is on a per-field basis.

Hmm, i’m not feeling too clever here: the way i understand it, it should appear somewhere on the first screenshot, but the only place it appears is in the second …

Thanks for the help!

Yup, to get it to show up in the first screen shot switch “Markypants” in the second screen shot to “Yes”

Great! You are right (of course). But fixing it this way didn’t really make sense to me. Anyway, thanks a lot. I’ll have to create an extension or something to show the authors the allowed syntax …

Thanks a load!

Well, still a small question though:

It appears that (though activated) auto < br / > doesn’t do anything … 2 breaks are converted to paragraphs like they should, but as i said, linebreaks aren’t converted …

Thanks.

The markdown formatting for ‘s is to leave two trailing whitespaces at the end of the line. Try copying this and see if it works:

this is a paragraph

these are separated by a br  
because the end of the line  
has two spaces

yes indeed it works, only i expected the xhtml to still handle this as normal … Anyway, it works! Thanks.

Unfortunately, though when using Markdown the XHTML parser isn’t even questioned.

Just a quickie … Is there an option where MarkyPants will still automatically convert URLs and e-mail adresses to links?

Thanks.
