Hmm, i’m not feeling too clever here:
the way i understand it, it should appear somewhere on the first screenshot, but the only place it appears is in the second ...

Thanks for the help!

Yup, to get it to show up in the first screen shot switch “Markypants” in the second screen shot to “Yes”

Great!
You are right (of course).
But fixing it this way didn’t really make sense to me. Anyway, thanks a lot.
I’ll have to create an extension or something to show the authors the allowed syntax ...

Thanks a load!

Well, still a small question though:

It appears that (though activated) auto < br / > doesn’t do anything ...
2 breaks are converted to paragraphs like they should, but as i said, linebreaks aren’t converted ...

Thanks.

The markdown formatting for
‘s is to leave two trailing whitespaces at the end of the line.  Try copying this and see if it works:

yes indeed it works,
only i expected the xhtml to still handle this as normal ...
Anyway, it works!
Thanks.

Unfortunately, though when using Markdown the XHTML parser isn’t even questioned.

Just a quickie ...
Is there an option where MarkyPants will still automatically convert URLs and e-mail adresses to links?

Thanks.

Unfortunately no there isn’t.  I ended up hacking the system to only do emails, but that will probably only work on this one job.  I’ll look into a way to keep the EE link parsing on and Markypants handling everything else.

That’d be great!

Thanks.

Mark,

I’ve been wanting to use both Markdown and Smarty Pants for my formatting for a while, and this fits the bill perfectly.

I believe I’ve found a small problem with the plugin and EE 1.5.2. With the plugin installed, I cannot view the “Plugin Manager” page in the control panel. I’ve deleted and reinstalled each plugin on two installs (one full, one core) on two different servers, and in each case, the Plugin Manager page comes up blank if, and only if, Markypants is installed. Otherwise, the plugin seems to work fine on the new version.

Thanks for looking into this.

@Jacob: You have both the pi.markdown.php and pi.smartypants.php plugins installed correct?

Mark, I never got back to you but this is the same problem I mentioned last week.  And I was using 1.5.1 at the time.

Mark,

I do have the markdown and smarty_pants plugins installed, and functionally, the markypants plugin works fine (I’m using it as the formatting option on my weblog). The only problem is accessing the plugins page.

Hum…  I’m not sure what would cause this.  Is there anyway you can look at your error_logs and see if there is a PHP Error popping up?

Mark, it seems to be that the plugin manager tries to add the markdown and smarty plugins twice - once because they’re in the plugin directory, and again because markypants is including them.

To get around this I created a new directory /plugins/markypants/ and moved markdown and smarty in there.  And changed the includes.

It all seems to be working fine now.

Not sure if this is the best way to go about things or not.  I’m using PHP5.1.4 btw.

Mark,

I checked out my error logs and there doesn’t appear to be anything.

I did follow smallbeer’s recommendation, and that worked. I am running PHP 5.1.6. The only downside is that markdown and smartypants are no longer available as stand alone plugins. That isn’t an issue for me, but it might be for someone - just a thought.

Thanks for looking into this.

Is there a possibility to define a target when creating a link with the Markdown syntax?

Thanks.
