Hey

I'm writing a new textboard that will revolutionize all textboards!

It is being written in the revolutionary programming language called Perl

This is what i have so far:


#!/usr/bin/perl
1;

Perl is like the twitter of programming languages. Very short and sweet.

You can have some 20 character perl script -- pretty much impossible to read unless you're the author -- and it's the equivalent to like 500 lines of Java.

But it's not aging very well. Sites with .pl in the URL (for a file, not the ccTLD) usually look like they were designed in 2001.

Camel-kun, can I contribute? I know Java and I can consume a REST api and the create a mobile client for your web sight.

Sure, anon, but i am still far from defining an API. I need a decent open beta first to test my current design.

I have finished the design of the marku_p. I leave it here for you to comment. The coding of the parser is going pretty well! 5 passes of regexps gave me almost everything i needed 😎

Considering that the board will not have JS, i tried to think in something that was robust and quick to type. There are a couple or more constructs i'm working on (like a greentext block, and a special spoiler block) but in general this is a good description of the markup. An image markup and external links block are missing, and this is intentional.

And yes, i am thinking on support BBCODE later, and Markdown, there are perl modules for that already so integrating them should be easy. But this is going to be the official markup.

Some clarification about the "align left"", and asking for help too. The name in the table says "align left" and it shows aligning right because i still have not decided HOW to call it. See, there is NO PURPOSE in aligning left UNLESS, you write in a language where aligning right is the default, so the picture is just a reflection on what i'm thinking now. Now, for the question:

How would you call it? I only have these ideas: ALIGN OPPOSITE, INVERT ALIGN, ALIGN FRONT.

This is a sample of the current incarnation of the markup.

please don't make me learn another renegade markup language
please support sexp code, it is powerful, expressive, and nonverbose

It's also a bitch to parse, because you have to keep a table of all identifiers and their arity to tell the text part from the arguments. Some kind of delimiter between the arguments and the text would have helped.

>>127
that's unpythonic, don't make things unnecessarily complicated to use

But, is similar to sexpcode!!!! Except for function composition, i tried to mimic it's general structure.

this is some markup

Just compare BBCODE vs this one...
[o][b]this[/b] [i]is[/i][/o] [u]some markup[/u]

VS

[o [b this] [i is]] [u some markup]

I left the function composition out because is just markup. However, i plan to use a very simple "parametrization" of some tags in this general form.

[x(flag1 flag2) contents of the tag]


--------------------------------------------

Examples
For the Table construct:
[t(separator-semicolon)
header ; header
data1 ; data2
data3 ; data4
]


For the spoiler tag
[h(reveal) a special type of spoiler]
[h(blinds) another type of spoiler]
