NAME

       Markdent::Dialect::Theory - Markdown extensions proposed by David Wheeler (aka Theory)

SYNOPSIS

         use Markdent::Parser;

         my $parser = Markdent::Parser->new( dialects => 'Theory', handler => ... );

DESCRIPTION

       The Theory roles add parsing for Markdown extensions proposed by David Wheeler (aka
       Theory). See <http://justatheory.com/computers/markup/markdown-table-rfc.html> and
       <http://justatheory.com/computers/markup/modest-markdown-proposal.html> for details.

   DEVIATIONS
       The dialect differs from David Wheeler's proposals in a few ways. Most of these deviations
       were discussed with David Wheeler and included with his approval.

       •   The header's "marker" row can use "+====+" as well as "+----+":

             | Header 1 | Header 2 |
             +==========+==========+
             | Body 1   | Body 2   |

       •   The table does not require a header:

             | Body 1 | Body 2 |
             | Body 3 | Body 4 |

       •   You can include a header marker at the beginning and/or end of the table. This matches
           how MySQL outputs tables from its CLI tool.

             +------+-------------+------------------------------+--------+
             | id   | name        | description                  | price  |
             +------+-------------+------------------------------+--------+
             |    1 | gizmo       | Takes care of the doohickies |   1.99 |
             |    2 | doodad      | Collects *gizmos*            |  23.80 |
             |   10 | dojigger    | Foo                          | 102.98 |
             | 1024 | thingamabob | Self-explanatory, no?        |   0.99 |
             +------+-------------+------------------------------+--------+

       •   Currently it just does tables, not definition lists. This will be fixed in a future
           release.

       •   Table continuation lines are expected to have the same number of cells as the line
           being continued. In other words, this doesn't work:

            | cell1 | cell2     |
                    : continues

           Instead, you must write this:

            | cell1 | cell2     |
            :       : continues :

           This is not an approved deviation, and may be corrected in a future release if I can
           figure out how to do so (patches welcome).
