Pandoc YAML Syntax #128

Closed vladipus closed 7 years ago

vladipus commented 8 years ago

According to Pandoc's documentation, the YAML metadata block can also be ended with three dots (...) instead of three hyphens. I think your remarkable plugin should support that as well : )

jonschlinkert commented 7 years ago

IMHO that seems like a bad idea. Why complicate parsing with a potentially ambiguous delimiter? Is there a reason that --- doesn't work?

vladipus commented 7 years ago

Works, but still a standard is a standard)

jonschlinkert commented 7 years ago

Pandoc is not a standard. It's a library. Closing since this isn't going to be implemented here

vladipus commented 7 years ago

Yes and no. Every software introduces its standard either implicitly or explicitly. By partially supporting it, the project is limiting documents, already written with the ... convention, which is not good, since people wouldn't even know what's wrong.

um, no. You're confusing conventions with standards. There is a markdown standard.
