Do you know if he's implemented this? That piece seems appropriate insofar as it is a plain text to XML, though the source, as CSS is *slightly* more structured than MD. [Why do people get so het up about round tripping?] I'm pondering the implications of inline MD markup vs the block based CSS model presented? He demonstrates processing blocks with a property list. css: (rule)*. rule: selector, block. block: "{", (property)*";", "}". property: name, ":", value; . name: ... value: ... I don't see immediately how inlines might be introduced. I had been looking at https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Markdown gives a robust MD with HTML target. I've been looking at their approach, though the HTML is pretty well embedded.
