I wish web2py was modular, so that this could be a separate project, and you can ``easy_install markmin`` and then web2py will pick up the existance or non-existance of the package and use or not use it automatically. This way we don't have to install markmin if we don't want to, but it is only one command away.
I know this makes it harder to maintain when you have multiple packages, however allows for people who use other web frameworks to take advantage of it! -- Thadeus On Wed, Jul 7, 2010 at 9:45 AM, Álvaro Justen <alv...@justen.eng.br> wrote: > On Wed, Jul 7, 2010 at 02:15, mdmcginn <michael.d.mcgin...@gmail.com> wrote: >> Massimo also announced this at >> http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python.announce/browse_thread/thread/216e52e03e1a0120/4e9404e70bdeed0e#4e9404e70bdeed0e >> but didn't include a link to >> http://www.web2py.com/examples/static/markmin.html. >> No comments yet. > > No. New project, new repository. > >> On Jul 6, 11:47 pm, Jason Brower <encomp...@gmail.com> wrote: >>> Markdown has no classes and it's annoying.
