+ Fixed annoying bug where nested lists would wind up with
spurious (and invalid) `` tags.
+ You can now write empty links:
[like this]()
and they'll be turned into anchor tags with empty href attributes.
This should have worked before, but didn't.
+ `***this***` and `___this___` are now turned into
this
Instead of
this
which isn't valid. (Thanks to Michel Fortin for the fix.)
+ Added a new substitution in `_EncodeCode()`: s/\$/$/g; This
is only for the benefit of Blosxom users, because Blosxom
(sometimes?) interpolates Perl scalars in your article bodies.
+ Fixed problem for links defined with urls that include parens, e.g.:
[1]: http://sources.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_East_Policy_(Chomsky)
"Chomsky" was being erroneously treated as the URL's title.
+ At some point during 1.0's beta cycle, I changed every sub's
argument fetching from this idiom:
my $text = shift;
to:
my $text = shift || return '';
The idea was to keep Markdown from doing any work in a sub
if the input was empty. This introduced a bug, though:
if the input to any function was the single-character string
"0", it would also evaluate as false and return immediately.
How silly. Now fixed.
