At http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-markdown/2012Nov/0062.html I suggested reviewing each item of the current MD syntax for addition to a baseline or reasoned rejection. A reminder. The idea of a baseline is that many or most implementations will comply to a lesser or greater degree. With that in mind the simplest one is the paragraph. http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax#p That definition I find confusing. If you can give a syntactic one please try. My attempt. "A paragraph starts in column 1 and continues until two or more newline characters are met." I define a newline character as appropriate to the OS in use, symbolised by \n Issues: "End a line with two or more spaces" (to insert a line break in the output format). Retain or remove? Do you agree that a single \n does not end a paragraph? If so, what should the transform do? Any more issues? regards -- Dave Pawson XSLT XSL-FO FAQ. Docbook FAQ. http://www.dpawson.co.uk
