Hi Khaled,
I took a look at the lunamark code, and ran it on some (copied) sample. As it was much slower than I'd expected from lpeg I messed around a little and could bring down the runtime on the sample from 2 sec to 0.1 sec. Anyhow, there is room for improvement so I wonder If I should take the code, wrap it up a bit, and make a module so that we can directly process markdown in context. (Of course we then need to keep an eye on how the original develops, if mkdown develops at all.)
Markdown, in its official form, does not seem to evolve very much. However, there are extensions to the original syntax, such as those provided by Pandoc (including nice new reference functionalities) and also the Python Markdown processor. Anyway, this is great news! Can't wait to see it in action :)
