I'm trying to find "comparable tools" that we could document there as
being comparable experiences that users might have met already. I do not
see any yet (Confluence and Jenkins seem to have pedgown as an option,
that's the only similarity I find).
So... this is "just another extended markdown" ?
Caleb, did you have something more pangalactic in mind?

I’m not sure what you have in mind but feel free to edit the

add information.

I had just imagined an extension to the markdown standard, not sure exactly
how macros ought to be implemented... One possibility:
<?velocity({output: false})
$doc.getFullName()
?>
or
<?html({clean:false, wiki:false}) <div></div> ?>
Thanks,
Caleb

Hey, that is
very "standard" in the sense of PHP-ish.
I like it but I am sure it can clash heavily somewhere.
Another proposal is here:
https://github.com/codingcoop/markdown-macros
More compact... thus less portable...

I'm trying to find something that looks like a standard.

That’ s not possible.
There’s no Markdown standard. It’s been discussed at length with its creator and he
explicitly said he didn’t want a standard. There were big fights over the internet on this
topic :) Would need to find the thread. I read it a while ago.
Thanks

The point is not to use someone else's code or even to duplicate
the logic to a perfect binary-compatible tee, the point is to be
"standard enough" that it's familiar to people who come in from
Github, StackOverflow, Slack, Reddit etc.
The php-inspired macro idea is another attempt at making it more
familiar to people and thus more intuitive.
Thanks,
Caleb
