Another Ligthweight Markup Language

ALML is yet another lightweight markup language. The current implementation is pure ruby.

The overall syntax follows Creole 1.0, except when it comes to lists, blockquotes and nested blocks, where it’s more inspired by Markdown and RDoc.

Configuration

ALML is configurable throught regexp. You may for instance rewrite how links are parsed by manipulating the Markup.inlines Array and Markup#parse_link method. You may also parse new elements.

Syntax Example

= Heading 1

This is a single
paragraph with **some bold**.

And this is another paragraph.

== Heading 2

> this is a
> blockquote

=== Lists

Unordered list:

- first item
- second item

You may also use stars +*+ instead of dashes +-+:

* first item
* second item

Ordered list:

# item 1
# item 2

== Nested blocks

You may nest blocks within list items:

- item 1
- item 2
  # subitem 2.1
  # subitem 2.2
- item 3
  - this is a nested
    paragraph.

    > this is a nested
    > blockquote
  - item 3.2

You may also nest blocks in blockquotes:

> This is a paragraph
> in a blockquote.
> 
> > This is a blockquote inside a blockquote.
> 
> - a list in a blockquote
> - a second item
>   - first subitem
>   - and even more:
>     > this is a blockquote in a sublist
>     > in a blockquote.
