The MacPorts Project is an open-source community initiative to design an easy-to-use system for compiling, installing, and upgrading either command-line, X11 or Aqua based open-source software on the Mac operating system. To that end we provide the command-line driven MacPorts software package under a 3-Clause BSD License, and through it easy access to thousands of ports that greatly simplify the task of compiling and installing open-source software on your Mac.

We provide a single software tree that attempts to track the latest release of every software title (port) we distribute, without splitting them into “stable” Vs. “unstable” branches, targeting mainly macOS High Sierra v10.13 and later (including macOS Big Sur v11). There are thousands of ports in our tree, distributed among different categories, and more are being added on a regular basis.

Getting started

For information on installing MacPorts please see the installation section of this site and explore the myriad of download options we provide and our base system requirements.

If you run into any problems installing and/or using MacPorts we also have many options to help you, depending on how you wish to get get in touch with us. Other important help resources are our online documentation, A.K.A The MacPorts Guide, and our Trac Wiki server & bug tracker.

Latest MacPorts release: 2.6.4

Getting involved: Students

Project

A good way for students to get involved is through the Google Summer of Code. GSoC is a program to encourage students' participation in Open Source development and offers a stipend to work on the project with an organization for three months. MacPorts has been participating in the program since 2007! We shall participate next year as well. You may find past GSoC projects here.

We have a list of ideas with possible tasks for MacPorts and additional information about the process at wiki/SummerOfCode. We are always open to new ideas. Research on the idea, draft an initial proposal and get it reviewed.

Getting involved

There are many ways you can get involved with MacPorts and peer users, system administrators & developers alike. Browse over to the “Contact Us” section of our site and:

  • Explore our mailing lists, either if it is for some general user support or to keep on top of the latest MacPorts developments and commits to our software repository.
  • Check out our Support & Development portal for some bug reporting and live tutorials through the integrated Wiki server.
  • Or simply come join us for a friendly IRC chat if you wish for more direct contact with the people behind it all.

If on the other hand you are interested in joining The MacPorts Project in any way, then don't hesitate to contact the project's management team, “PortMgr”, to explain your particular interest and present a formal application. We're always looking for more helping hands that can extend and improve our ports tree and documentation, or take MacPorts itself beyond its current limitations and into new areas of the vast software packaging field. We're eager to hear from you!

Markdown 1.0.1 (18 KB) — 17 Dec 2004

Introduction

Markdown is a text-to-HTML conversion tool for web writers. Markdownallows you to write using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain textformat, then convert it to structurally valid XHTML (or HTML).

Thus, “Markdown” is two things: (1) a plain text formatting syntax;and (2) a software tool, written in Perl, that converts the plain textformatting to HTML. See the Syntax page for details pertaining toMarkdown’s formatting syntax. You can try it out, right now, using theonline Dingus.

The overriding design goal for Markdown’s formatting syntax is to makeit as readable as possible. The idea is that a Markdown-formatteddocument should be publishable as-is, as plain text, without lookinglike it’s been marked up with tags or formatting instructions. WhileMarkdown’s syntax has been influenced by several existing text-to-HTMLfilters, the single biggest source of inspiration for Markdown’ssyntax is the format of plain text email.

The best way to get a feel for Markdown’s formatting syntax is simplyto look at a Markdown-formatted document. For example, you can viewthe Markdown source for the article text on this page here:http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/index.text

(You can use this ‘.text’ suffix trick to view the Markdown source forthe content of each of the pages in this section, e.g. theSyntax and License pages.)

Markdown is free software, available under a BSD-style open sourcelicense. See the License page for more information.

Discussion List

I’ve set up a public mailing list for discussion about Markdown.Any topic related to Markdown — both its formatting syntax andits software — is fair game for discussion. Anyone who is interestedis welcome to join.

It’s my hope that the mailing list will lead to good ideas for futureimprovements to Markdown.

Installation and Requirements

Markdown requires Perl 5.6.0 or later. Welcome to the 21st Century.Markdown also requires the standard Perl library module Digest::MD5, which is probably already installed on your server.

Movable Type

Markdown works with Movable Type version 2.6 or later (includingMovable Type 3.0).

  1. Copy the “Markdown.pl” file into your Movable Type “plugins”directory. The “plugins” directory should be in the same directoryas “mt.cgi”; if the “plugins” directory doesn’t already exist, useyour FTP program to create it. Your installation should look likethis:

  2. Once installed, Markdown will appear as an option in Movable Type’sText Formatting pop-up menu. This is selectable on a per-post basis:

    Markdown translates your posts to HTML when you publish; the poststhemselves are stored in your MT database in Markdown format.

  3. If you also install SmartyPants 1.5 (or later), Markdown willoffer a second text formatting option: “Markdown WithSmartyPants”. This option is the same as the regular “Markdown”formatter, except that it automatically uses SmartyPants to createtypographically correct curly quotes, em-dashes, and ellipses. Seethe SmartyPants web page for more information.

  4. To make Markdown (or “Markdown With SmartyPants”) your defaulttext formatting option for new posts, go to Weblog Config:Preferences.

Note that by default, Markdown produces XHTML output. To configureMarkdown to produce HTML 4 output, see “Configuration”, below.

Blosxom

Markdown works with Blosxom version 2.0 or later.

  1. Rename the “Markdown.pl” plug-in to “Markdown” (case isimportant). Movable Type requires plug-ins to have a “.pl”extension; Blosxom forbids it.

  2. Copy the “Markdown” plug-in file to your Blosxom plug-ins folder.If you’re not sure where your Blosxom plug-ins folder is, see theBlosxom documentation for information.

  3. That’s it. The entries in your weblog will now automatically beprocessed by Markdown.

  4. If you’d like to apply Markdown formatting only to certainposts, rather than all of them, Markdown can optionally be used inconjunction with Blosxom’s Meta plug-in. First, install theMeta plug-in. Next, open the Markdown plug-in file in a texteditor, and set the configuration variable $g_blosxom_use_metato 1. Then, simply include a “meta-markup: Markdown” header lineat the top of each post you compose using Markdown.

BBEdit

Project Fireball Mac Os Catalina

Markdown works with BBEdit 6.1 or later on Mac OS X. It also workswith BBEdit 5.1 or later and MacPerl 5.6.1 on Mac OS 8.6 or later. Ifyou’re running Mac OS X 10.2 (Jaguar), you may need to install thePerl module Digest::MD5 from CPAN; Digest::MD5 comespre-installed on Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther).

  1. Copy the “Markdown.pl” file to appropriate filters folder in your“BBEdit Support” folder. On Mac OS X, this should be:

    See the BBEdit documentation for more details on the location ofthese folders.

    You can rename “Markdown.pl” to whatever you wish.

  2. That’s it. To use Markdown, select some text in a BBEdit document,then choose Markdown from the Filters sub-menu in the “#!” menu, orthe Filters floating palette

Configuration

By default, Markdown produces XHTML output for tags with empty elements.E.g.:

Markdown can be configured to produce HTML-style tags; e.g.:

Movable Type

You need to use a special MTMarkdownOptions container tag in eachMovable Type template where you want HTML 4-style output:

The easiest way to use MTMarkdownOptions is probably to put theopening tag right after your <body> tag, and the closing tag rightbefore </body>.

To suppress Markdown processing in a particular template, i.e. topublish the raw Markdown-formatted text without translation into(X)HTML, set the output attribute to ‘raw’:

Command-Line

Use the --html4tags command-line switch to produce HTML output from aUnix-style command line. E.g.:

Project Fireball Mac Os 11

Type perldoc Markdown.pl, or read the POD documentation within theMarkdown.pl source code for more information.

Acknowledgements

Aaron Swartz deserves a tremendous amount of credit for his feedback on thedesign of Markdown’s formatting syntax. Markdown is much better thanksto Aaron’s ideas, feedback, and testing. Also, Aaron’s html2textis a very handy (and free) utility for turning HTML intoMarkdown-formatted plain text.

Nathaniel Irons, Dan Benjamin, Daniel Bogan, and Jason Perkinsalso deserve thanks for their feedback.

Michel Fortin has ported Markdown to PHP; it’s a splendid port, and highly recommended for anyone looking for a PHP implementation of Markdown.
