I have a github-markdown which translates into pillar - and from pillar you can get many things. It is lacking several aspects, as I personally was most interested in rendering it inside pharo. The major thing missing (because I could not figure out how to render them) is tables. But take a look a

Hmm I hadn’t even thought of Xstreams… I always thought it sounded cool, perhaps its a place to start - but as you mention, I’m not sure it really gained traction in the Pharo world. My use case is quite simple as the markdown files are simple configuration (and maybe don’t even need a parser -

Thanks Eric - I did have a peek at Phoedown (as I did recall that announcement) but as my use case is for a generic library for testing (that I could potentially share with the wider community), I wasn’t convince that needing a separate dependency would fly (for an own standalone project it did

[Pharo-users] Do we have a simple markdown parser?

2020-03-24 Thread Tim Mackinnon
Hi guys - do we have a simple markdown parser that is reasonably up to date? I did a quick GitHub scan and a few popped out, but I wasn’t convinced I had found one the “everyone” uses (albeit, everyone might be a small sample). Ideally I don’t want to get sucked into writing another one (a proje

Or we teach people to fish…? What’s the point of duplicating everything that’s already in the image anyway - we just need to be cleverer or ensure that people know to look there and have the right onboarding experience to do that? Otherwise its just another thing that gets out of date very rapid

Pharo has some good documentation, but its more lesson-based than a library reference. Those of us familiar with Pharo know the tricks to use the system itself as that reference, but I'd imagine this is an unfamiliar workflow for newcomers. I have seen before a class library reference generated fr
