I know there are way too many flavors of Markdown, but I'm partial to Markdown Extra.

How do I set up Marked to use Markdown Extra for rendering?

   Is there a specific syntax you're trying to enable? Overall MultiMarkdown shares the same extended syntax, but if you set up a custom processor with /usr/bin/php and the path to the PHP markdown extra executable, it should be possible. Haven't tested with that one, though.

   One is this construct:

   {.image-left .image-25}

   Another is similar:

   {.caption .image-right .image-25}

   From this general syntax:

   It is possible to run Markdown Extra as a command line tool, which means it's possible to run your Markdown through it in Marked. PHP isn't the easiest to work with, though, so I might suggest using the ruby utility maruku instead (which I think supports all Markdown Extra syntax and definitely handles the class markers you're using).

   There's also the Python Markdown package which can do the same, if that's easier.
