What are extensions?
- Extra syntax supported by some other software than the C/javascript implementation hosted here?
- Proposed additions to the spec?
- Firefox/chrome like “extra software” than can be added to the C/javascript implementation hosted here?
I’m hoping for 3. Is there a plan for a generic extension mechanism? E.g. I haven’t found any description on how to write extensions in C or javascript.
We have a few itches of our own for using CommonMark for writing documentation:
- Definition lists
- Internal links
Allowing us somehow to convert (something similar to)
bug[App crashes when user hits Enter](CM-2345)
into
< href="http://our-jira-host.internal/browse/CM-2345">App crashes when user hits Enter</a>
Something like “Definition lists” would be great for lots of people so OK, maybe we’ll wait and see if it makes it into the spec and implementation at some point. But “Internal links” cannot make it into the spec, as they cannot be standardized.
Are there any plans to make it possible to extend the CommonMark implementation with custom extensions or what does this “Extensions” help category cover?
Quite confused…
