DrewMark

A full-featured markup language system inspired by Markdown and Showdown. DrewMark defines a set of standardized syntax rules for plain text content, easily parsed into standard HTML.

Why DrewMark?

Markdown is great, but it has limitations. DrewMark rethinks the markup experience from the ground up:

• 9 text decorations instead of just 2 — bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, highlight, superscript, subscript, small text, and ruby annotations
• 5 ordered list types — Arabic numerals, Roman numerals (upper/lower), and Latin letters (upper/lower), with optional reverse ordering
• 3 unordered list types — disc, circle, and square — each with distinct markers
• Built-in table support with <thead>, <tbody>, <tfoot>, colspan, and rowspan
• Native multimedia embedding — audio and video with codec selection, poster images, and playback controls
• Citation support for both inline quotes and blockquotes via the cite attribute
• Global attribute system — add id, class, style, lang, align, dir, title, and data-* to any element
• Collapsible details blocks with multi-level nesting
• Progress bars, figure blocks, definition lists, style blocks, and more
• No ambiguous syntax — curly braces for URLs, distinct markers for every decoration
