What markup how?

[simonmika]

I would love some input regarding how what features to build first and especially get some feedback and ideas on how to mark them up.

[simonmika]

To get a general overview please read the readme.

To see how it looks like today look at the example.

And for some of the bigger features planned there are already some issues:

• Math
• Code
• Captions

But we also need ways to markup things like links, figures, tables and more.

Any ideas or comments?
Anybody else you who's opinion you think would be valuable?

I don't see numbered lists being mentioned anywhere. Will items be numbered manually with 1., 2. etc, or will you just put 1. everywhere and let the items be numbered automatically? Markdown allows you to choose, but if TypeUp only allows for one way of doing things, you'll have to decide.

Also, I don't remember where, but I've seen Markdown refuse to render lists properly unless subitems are indented by 2 spaces. I see you're using tabs in your example. I'm not sure which is better.

I think allowing any number followed by a dot and a space makes sense. The order is then automatically generated at presentation.

I would like to use space and/or tabs to make nested lists and also handle multiple paragraph in a list item. What do you think, spaces or tabs?

[davidhesselbom]

and also handle multiple paragraph in a list item.

Yeah, this is missing in Markdown, so you end up having to number list items manually whenever you want to do this.

I think allowing any number followed by a dot and a space makes sense. The order is then automatically generated at presentation.

You mean the manually entered numbers will be ignored, then? Works for me.

What do you think, spaces or tabs?

Not sure. Spaces, probably.
