# Markdent::Dialect::GitHub(3pm)

Markdown extensions implemented on GitHub

## NAME

Markdent::Dialect::GitHub - Markdown extensions implemented on GitHub

## SYNOPSIS

```
  use Markdent::Parser;
  my $parser = Markdent::Parser->new( dialect => 'GitHub', handler => ... );
```

## DESCRIPTION

The GitHub roles add parsing for some of the Markdown extensions used on GitHub. See \<http://github.github.com/github-flavored-markdown/\> for details.

### DEVIATIONS

The dialect differs from the GitHub implementation in a few ways.

- •

  It doesn't yet implement the newline handling that GitHub specifies.

- •

  It does not implement the GitHub specific auto-linking for SHAs, users, or projects. This is intentional.

### IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS

When the start of a fenced code block includes a language indicator (````"```perl"````), the HTML output will include that language as part of a class name on the `"<code>"` tag:

```
  <pre><code class="language-perl">...</code></pre>
```

## BUGS

See Markdent for bug reporting details.
