Description

I'd really like Trac to be able to handle Markdown formatted text. There is a python implementation of Markdown available here.

Thanks!

I would love to see this. It would make such a difference to working with non-technical wiki authors.

I'd really dig this, too

Very very easy solution is here.

## mkdown.py -- easy markdown formatter without trac links.
rom markdown import markdown

# as for wiki-macro
def execute(hdf, txt, env):
    return markdown(txt.encode('utf-8'))

This macro does not handle trac links at all but it might be possible using extension mechanism of current Markdown (1.6).

but it might be possible using extension mechanism of current Markdown (1.6).

A complete solution would be so fantastic, I'm weeping with anticipation.

I wrote this today. It's a little buggy, but seems usable. Things like [Bob's patch]([40]) or [camel case]: CamelCase work. <CamelCase> works but shows the whole url.

"""Trac plugin for Markdown Syntax (with links)

Everything markdown-ed as a link target is run through Trac's wiki
formatter to get a substitute url.

Tested with Trac 0.8.1 and python-markdown 1.4 on Debian GNU/Linux.

+ for markdown support

However the only way Markdown is really going to be adopted this way is if we can use it as the default text markup. As soon as we need # etc and to close then Markdown will not get used.

So we need it to be in trac.ini to support default without //!/# / tricks.

There is implementation of markdown in pure js: http://www.attacklab.net/showdown-gui.html And another js improvement of it (with syntax highlighting): http://softwaremaniacs.org/playground/showdown-highlight/

comment:8 Changed 17 years ago by anonymous

For the trac version I have this needs a tiny edit:

from trac.wiki.formatter import wiki_to_oneliner 

comment:9 Changed 16 years ago by fwolf.aide+trac@…

Trac Release: 0.90.11

I'd like to see we can write in trac using Markdown syntax too...

And also, here an Markdown Extra which extended original Markdown

Markdown plugin for Trac 0.11 (ebta)

comment:11 Changed 16 years ago by killer_storm

i've adapted version by brian for Trac version 0.11.

  • copy file (Markdown.py from attachments) into yourproject/plugins.
  • install markdown (e.g. apt-get install python-markdown on Debian/Ubuntu).
  • restart webserver and enjoy

you can use it as wiki processor:

   {{{
   #!Markdown
   
   markdown text goes here
   =======================
   ...
   }}}

(notice the capital letter M)

comment:12 Changed 15 years ago by knittl

if you get this error:

Trac detected an internal error:

AttributeError: 'unicode' object has no attribute 'parent'

you have to get the latest python-markdown version with unicode support from http://www.freewisdom.org/projects/python-markdown/Releases and install it on your (most probably debian) system with

python setup.py install

after a server restart you should be able to use markdown

comment:17 Changed 15 years ago by antony

To add support for Markdown Extra, change the line

return markdown(sub(LINK, convert, txt))

to read

return markdown(sub(LINK, convert, txt), ['extra'])

To allow escaping of links using an exclamation mark, eg:

[Ticket](!#1)

change the line

LINK = compile(
    r'(\]\()([^) ]+)([^)]*\))|(<)([^>]+)(>)|(\n\[[^]]+\]: *)([^ \n]+)(.*\n)'
)

to read

LINK = compile(
    r'(\]\()([^) !]+)([^)]*\))|(<)([^>]+)(>)|(\n\[[^]]+\]: *)([^ \n]+)(.*\n)'
)

in the attacked Markdown.py

Bug fixes

comment:18 Changed 15 years ago by anonymous

Added Markdown.2.py with the following bug fixes to killer_storm's code:

  • Allowed escaping of Trac links, so eg [Link](!#1) will become [Link](#1) instead of [Link](!/ticket/1)
  • Fixed a bug where a markdown link containing a target location that Trac doesn't think is a valid link would cause an Internal Error
  • <CamelCase> no longer shows the whole URL

Today I fetched the latest SVN version of MarkdownMacro, installed it on Trac 1.0.1. My test shows that fenced code blocks are not being parsed, while the Markdown library supports this syntax: http://pythonhosted.org/Markdown/extensions/fenced_code_blocks.html

I'm not sure when I will have time to work on this, but I'd gladly accept a patch.

The macro now uses markdown extensions to render TracLinks, WikiMacros, WikiProcessors, code fences with highlighting and more.

Use current tunk (r18416 or later).
