[t2t] Write your emails with txt2tags!

[Forgeot Eric]

Since the last message, I've improved a bit the txt2tags parser in js (based on showdown). I've also included the "hack" into another markdown parser, called marked and it's working quite well (now we have tables!)


It's in https://github.com/farvardin/txt2tagsjs

I've choosen another direction for this second library: instead of rebranding it with a "txt2tags" name, I've kept the old name and the old references: it means you don't really need to modify anything in a project you want to port to txt2tags, most of the time you just call the modified "marked.js" and it will work.


Several cool tools are using marked:

- a presentation tool in html5 : http://lab.hakim.se/reveal-js (it's working with txt2tags now)
- a framework for developping interfaces : http://getuikit.com/docs/addons_markdownarea.html (it can work with txt2tags with a few tweaks)

- an email composer (extension for thunderbird, firefox, chrome) : http://markdown-here.com/


I've built and adapted the extensions for txt2tags. You can test them there:

http://wiki.txt2tags.org/demos (the 2 last links on this page)

Or a direct download from there:

- firefox / thunderbird: http://wiki.txt2tags.org/demos/txt2tags-here.xpi

- Chrome: http://wiki.txt2tags.org/demos/txt2tags-here.crx

For chrome / chromium you won't be able to install it right from the website. Open the folder where you've downloaded the extension, and drag and drop it into Chrome's extension panel.
