[cl-markdown-devel] CL-Markdown update

[Gary King]

Apologies if you've already read this on Planet Lisp...


I've removed CL-Markdown's dependency on LML2 (though CL-Markdown- 
Test still uses it to generate the comparison reports). I've also  
fixed several small tickets. The most important one probably being  
the correct handling of line breaks with <pre>s sections. I also  
changed the signature of the markdown form. The new one looks like:

> Convert source into a markdown document object and optionally  
> render it to stream using format. Source can be either a string or  
> a pathname or a stream. Stream is like the stream argument in  
> format; it can be a pathname or t (short for *standard-output*) or  
> nil (which will place the output into a string). Format can  
> be :html or :none. In the latter case, no output will be generated.
>
> The markdown command returns (as multiple values) the generated  
> document object and any return value from the rendering (e.g., the  
> string produced when the stream is nil).

I hope that's clear. It makes it easy to go from strings or files to  
strings or files in any supported format (i.e., in HTML <Smile>).

There is still some distance to go before the basics are complete but  
things are starting to look pretty good.
