Enable markdown extensions

There are some handy markdown extensions available which can improve the quality of documentation. I propose enabling the following extensions by default;

markdown.extensions.extra
markdown.extensions.smarty
markdown.extensions.toc

Hi,

I recommend enabling markdown.extensions.tables to use table styles in the add-on help documentation.

Thanks.

Hi all,

I have just tried to enable markdown.extensions.tables in buildVars.py, but I find that the generated table has no border at all.

Should I modify style.css manually? Or, would AddonTemplate give a better solution?

Thanks!

Hi, I think this is more of an issue with Markdown and/or CSS we are using. Thanks.

Thanks.

@josephsl,

I don't know how to solve the problem with the latest template. Python markdown module does not set border="1" for the tables. So far, I just add some necessary CSS in to style.css:

table {
border-collapse: collapse;
}
table, th, td {
border: 1px solid black;
}

Could anyone tell me how to prevent to modify it by myself? Thanks.
