Forum: Instiki – Topic: Bugs

Both this request (for “fenced” quotations and lists) and this one, in the other thread, are for extensions to the Markdown syntax in Maruku.

Frankly, I’m very reluctant to spend any time working on Maruku.

The author (who is no longer actively developing the software) insists on a GPL license, which conflicts with the licenses for both Instiki (Ruby) and Heterotic Beast (MIT). Unless he changes his mind (which seems unlikely, as I’ve asked several times), I would prefer to ditch Maruku, in favour of another Markdown engine.

Consequently, I’d rather spend my time extending that engine (whatever it turns out to be). Of course, for the present, I am still going to fix bugs in Maruku.

Update:

Well, OK, I didn’t exactly keep that promise…

We can type equations

or put them in SVG graphics

or type some code

require 'chunks/chunk'

# Contains all the methods for finding and replacing wiki links.
module WikiChunk
  include Chunk

  # A wiki reference is the top-level class for anything that refers to
  # another wiki page.
  class WikiReference < Chunk::Abstract
	
    # Name of the referenced page
    attr_reader :page_name

    # Name of the referenced page
    attr_reader :web_name

    # the referenced page
    def refpage
      @content.web.page(@page_name)
    end
	
end

and so forth.
