Hi To support the publication in pdf and html directly, plus let people not to bother about latex, I would really to experiment the following for the next chapters of books. I do not know well markdown but I would like to know if the following makes sense. I would like to see if we can use markdown (plus some extensions for in text annotation, figure definition) as pivot language and to be able to generate latex and html from it.
From a simple analysis of current chapter here are the needs:
structure title (with ref) section (with ref) subsection paragraph itemize/enumerate code snippet (with ref) figure with caption and ref inside a text area link code index comment for editor citation reference I probably miss some of them but this is the core and we can reduce the number from the latex stand point. What do you think? Does markdown support the item above. Is the petitMarkdown parser working? Because I would like to write a visitor that generates the latex we use for the book. I would like to use Zinc documentation as a test. Stef
