NAME

       Markdent::Dialect::Standard - Markdown as defined by John Gruber

SYNOPSIS

         use Markdent::Parser;

         my $parser = Markdent::Parser->new( handler => ... );

DESCRIPTION

       The "Standard" dialect is plain Markdown as defined by John Gruber
       (<http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/>) and as implemented by Dingus
       (<http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/dingus>).

       This is the default dialect, so you do not need to ask for it explicitly.

   DEVIATIONS
       The Standard dialect as implemented by Markdent differs from Dingus in a few ways:

       •   HTML attribute quote delimiters are not preserved, so a single quote may be converted
           into a double quote.

       •   Whitespace on an empty line in a code block is preserved by Markdent, but not by
           Dingus.

       •   Markdent will not generate bad HTML from Markdown markup. Markdent does not allow
           unbalanced markup events to propagate, and will turn unbalanced events into plain
           text.

           Here is an example:

             *em **strong* wtf**

           Dingus turns this into:

             <p><em>em <strong>strong</em> wtf</strong></p>

           Markdent's HTML output for the same:

             <p><em>em **strong</em> wtf**</p>

           Note that with inline HTML, Markdent echoes it more or less as-is, so you can still
           produce bad HTML with Markdent.

BUGS
