mkd-extensions — Extensions to the Markdown text formatting syntax

       David Parsons http://www.pell.portland.or.us/~orc/

       This  version  of  markdown  has  been  extended in a few ways by extending existing markup, creating new
       markup from scratch, and borrowing markup from other markup languages.

   Imagedimensions
       Markdown embedded images have been extended to allow specifying the dimensions of the image by  adding  a
       new argument =/height/x/width/ to the link description.

       The new image syntax is
            ![alt text](image =/height/x/width/ "title")

   pseudo-protocols
       Five pseudo-protocols have been added to links

       id:    The alttext is marked up and written to the output, wrapped with <aid=id> and </a>.

       class:
              The alttext is marked up and written to the output, wrapped with <spanclass=class> and </span>.

       raw:   The title is written --withnofurtherprocessing-- to the output.  The alttext is discarded.

       abbr:  The alttext is marked up and written to the output, wrapped with <abbrtitle=abbr> and </abbr>.

       lang:  The alttext s marked up and written to the output, wrapped with <spanlang=lang> and </span>.

   Pandocheaders
       The markdown source document can have a 3-line Pandoc header in the format of
           % title
           % author(s)
           % date
       which will be made available to the mkd_doc_title(), mkd_doc_author(), and mkd_doc_date() functions.

   Definitionlists
       A definition list item is defined as
       =tag=
           description
       (that is a =, followed by text, another =, a newline, 4 spaces of intent, and then more text.)

       Alternatively, definition list items are defined as
       tag
       : description
       (This is the format that PHPMarkdownExtra uses.)

   embeddedstylesheets
       Stylesheets  may  be  defined  and  modified in a <style> block.   A style block is parsed like any other
       block level html; <style> starting on column 1, raw html (or, in this case, css) following it, and either
       ending with a </style> at the end of the line or a </style> at the beginning of a subsequent line.

       Be warned that style blocks work like footnote links -- no matter where you define them  they  are  valid
       for the entire document.

   alphalists
       Alphabetic lists (like regular numeric lists, but with alphabetic items) are supported.    So:
           a. this
           b. is
           c. an alphabetic
           d. list
       will produce:
           <ol type=a>
           <li>this</li>
           <li>is</li>
           <li>an alphabetic</li>
           <li>list</li>
           </ol>

   tablesPHPMarkdownExtra tables are supported;  input of the form
           header|header
           ------|------
            text | text
       will produce:
           <table>
           <thead>
           <tr>
           <th>header</th>
           <th>header</th>
           </tr>
           </thead>
           <tbody>
           <tr>
           <td>text</td>
           <td>text</td>
           </tr>
           </tbody>
           </table>
       The  dashed  line  can  also contain : characters for formatting;  if a : is at the start of a column, it
       tells discount to align the cell contents to the left;  if it's at the  end,  it  aligns  right,  and  if
       there's one at the start and at the end, it centers.

   strikethrough
       A strikethrough syntax is supported in much the same way that ` is used to define a section of code.   If
       you  enclose  text  with  two  or  more tildes, such as ~~erasedtext~~ it will be written as <del>erasedtext</del>.  Like code sections, you may use as many ~ as you want, but there must be  as  many  starting
       tildes as closing tildes.

   markdownextra-stylefootnotesPHPMarkdownExtra footnotes are supported.   If a footnote link begins with a ^, the first use of that
       footnote will generate a link down to the bottom of the rendered document, which will contain a  numbered
       footnote with a link back to where the footnote was called.
