I’d heard 1 or 2 wishes for such a feature, so it’s worth noting that Parsons added syntax for defining HTML table elements to Discount 1.5.1. This Markdown extension was inspired by table support in PHP Markdown Extra.

I’ve developed an addiction to Markdown after a few weeks using it here to write posts. So I want markdown for some chores on my main system, which is generally Plan 9. This means I need Perl to interpret the markdown.pl script.
