#Markdown parser written in Clojure

A markdown parser which compiles to both Clojure and ClojureScript.

boynton: Fixed some code block handling to be more consistent with multimarkdown. These are bug fixes for me, YMMV.

---

Heading

the number of hashes indicates the level of the heading

#Heading

##Sub-heading 

###Sub-sub-heading 

Line

***

* * *

*****

- - -

Emphasis

*foo*

Blockquote

>This is a blockquote
with some content

>this is another blockquote

Paragraph

This is a paragraph, it's
split into separate lines.

This is another paragraph.

Unordered List

indenting an item makes it into a sublist of the item above it, ordered and unordered lists can be nested within one another

* Foo
* Bar
 * Baz

* foo
* bar

   * baz
     1. foo
     2. bar

   * fuzz

      * blah
      * blue
* brass

Ordered List

1. Foo
2. Bar
3. Baz

Inline Code

Here's some code `x + y = z` that's inlined.

Code block

Using three backquotes indicates a start of a code block, the next three backquotes ends the code block section. Optionally, the language name can be put after the backquotes to produce a tag compatible with the Syntax Highlighter, eg:

```clojure

(defn foo [bar] "baz")

```

Indented Code

indenting by at least 4 spaces creates a code block

some

here

note: XML is escaped in code sections

Strikethrough

~~foo~~

Superscript

a^2 + b^2 = c^2
