Help Improve the Markdown Port

Published: 12/28/2009 | Updated: 12/28/2009 |  Discuss

Almost an eternity ago, I ported John Gruber's Markdown to C#. The Markdown syntax is known quite well outside of the .NET community, so I wanted to bring it to this camp. Even though I've seen the port used here and there, I've never got to run it as a community project.

Well, it seems Jeff Atwood and Co at Stack Overflow picked it up to run as an open source project. The code from 2004 was based off a Perl source with lots and lots of regular expressions. If I were to write a port all over again, I'd refactor it heavily.

If you feel like contributing, please head to a the announcement post and go from there.

Congratulations, and thanks for letting this go open-source, Milan. MarkdownSharp is a great concept that will benefit many .Net projects.
