Perhaps someone else will come up with a better solution, or will be so interested that they put the work in to create the complex algorithm. I’ve tried a few (fairly creative, in my opinion) approaches, but they didn’t work. This means that an algorithm to properly convert a CM/Markdown document to HTML would be quite complex, with a huge number of edge cases to consider. This means that a Markdown span could, for example, start in the middle of a CriticMarkup structure, but end outside of it. #2 is not so well implemented, largely due to the “orthogonal” nature of CriticMarkup and the underlying Markdown syntax.ĬM is designed as a separate layer on top of Markdown/MultiMarkdown. I believe that #1 is a really great idea, and well implemented. I view CriticMarkup as two things (in addition to the actual tools that implement these concepts):Ī syntax for documenting editing notes and changes, and for collaborating amongst coauthors.Ī means to display those notes/changes in the HTML output. This example would not result in bold being applied to foo bar. This will allow you to see changes in the HTML preview.ĭeletions from the original text: This is bar**) will not properly manage the intended MultiMarkdown markup. When editing in MultiMarkdown Composer, you can have CriticMarkup syntax flagged in the both the editor pane and the preview window. It’s almost like a separate layer on top of the MultiMarkdown syntax. The key thing to remember is that CriticMarkup is processed before any other MultiMarkdown is handled. The CriticMarkup syntax is fairly straightforward. Reject all changes, giving you the “original” document ( multimarkdown -r foo.txt or multimarkdown -reject foo.txt)ĬriticMarkup comments and highlighting are ignored when processing with -accept or -reject. This will not always result in a valid output document.Īccept all changes, giving you the “new” document ( multimarkdown -a foo.txt or multimarkdown -accept foo.txt) MultiMarkdown will attempt to show the changes as highlights in the exported document, where possible. Leave the CriticMarkup syntax in place ( multimarkdown foo.txt). When using CriticMarkup with MultiMarkdown itself, you have three choices: There is also a great video showing CriticMarkup in use while editing a document in MultiMarkdown Composer. I encourage you to check out the CriticMarkup web site to learn more as it can be a very useful tool. ĬriticMarkup is integrated with MultiMarkdown itself, as well as MultiMarkdown Composer. As with Markdown, small groups of distinctive characters allow you to highlight insertions, deletions, substitutions and comments, all without the overhead of heavy, proprietary office suites. CriticMarkup is a way for authors and editors to track changes to documents in plain text.
