To start at the beginning

As we put more ideas to the group I'm getting lost.
Rather than additions, perhaps we can start with what we know are essential.
1. Scope
2. Deliverables
3. Definition of syntax + semantics

1. Scope.
  Proposal. We define syntax and semantics for a MD to HTML basic.
2. Deliverables.
  a single document containing syntax and semantics (of transformed to XHTML).
3. From http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax
The basic elements are

Blocks

para
headers
lists
codeblock
[optional, blockquotes, rules]

Inlines

links
emphasis
code
[optional, images]

Others.
Escapes
[optional automatic links]


Proposal. We take each in turn and gain agreement on these, entering
them as each is defined.
The 'optional' ones above, I'm proposing be dropped from the basic.


Comments or alternatives for a way ahead please.

regards
