4 * A simple Markdown lexer for scintilla.
6 * Includes highlighting for some extra features from the
7 * Pandoc implementation; strikeout, using '#.' as a default
8 * ordered list item marker, and delimited code blocks.
12 * Standard indented code blocks are not highlighted at all,
13 * as it would conflict with other indentation schemes. Use
14 * delimited code blocks for blanket highlighting of an
15 * entire code block. Embedded HTML is not highlighted either.
16 * Blanket HTML highlighting has issues, because some Markdown
17 * implementations allow Markdown markup inside of the HTML. Also,
18 * there is a following blank line issue that can't be ignored,
19 * explained in the next paragraph. Embedded HTML and code
20 * blocks would be better supported with language specific
23 * The highlighting aims to accurately reflect correct syntax,
24 * but a few restrictions are relaxed. Delimited code blocks are
25 * highlighted, even if the line following the code block is not blank.
26 * Requiring a blank line after a block, breaks the highlighting
27 * in certain cases, because of the way Scintilla ends up calling
30 * Written by Jon Strait - jstrait@moonloop.net

33 * software may be distributed.
