Hi,
So bare with me, I've only been looking at Nim for the past week and haven't written anything substantial in it. I'm trying to write a very simple CMS site with jester and looking for a way to store the content. Markdown is the obvious solution but I'm struggling to find a parser.
This looks promising (https://github.com/flaviut/stupid-markdown-parser/blob/master/markdown.nim) but I was hoping there might be something in the standard library.
Any ideas?
The Nim compiler has the rst2html action which transforms a reStructuredText file to HTML. It can do everything Markdown can, plus some extras (e.g. Nim syntax highlighting). By default, it uses the same HTML template which is being used for generating API documentation (with nim doc / nim doc2), but you can customize it with a nimdoc.cfg. This is somewhat documented here.
The rST implementation is also usable as package from Nim code, as documented here. This forum uses rST as input format for posts.
