Hi, does anyone knows if there is a Markdown parser already developed for FreePascal?.

I started a Markdown and Creole parser about a year or two ago. I'll see if I still have the code somewhere. It might be at work, which means I can only check on Monday.

Sorry, I looked everywhere on my work system and our server. I can't seem to find my markdown parser anywhere. That'll teach me to use SCM systems more often.

I remembered I modeled the code after a very fast Java Markdown parser. The code wasn't difficult, so it should go relatively quickly to implement a Object Pascal version again.

I did a quick Google search, here is the link to the Java MarkDown parser I based my code on.

https://github.com/rjeschke/txtmark/

You can see from the notes in that URL, it passes all the MarkDown tests, and compared to other MarkDown implementation, txtmark absolutely flies!

This is what I wanted to implement with MarkDown. An alternative GUI fpdoc content editor that uses Markdown syntax.

with a MarkDown parser, but I thought it worth mentioning the following. Another very nice alternative to MarkDown is AsciiDoc

http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/

AsciiDoc is the closest text markup format to "plain text" - like you would use in emails or a README.txt file. As an example, all of the Git project's help is written in AsciiDoc format. Reading the "raw documentation source" of git, is a clear as reading a text email. :-)
