Lisa ?

Lisa stands for "i Love twISted Acronyms".

Anyway, Lisa is just a very small and simple website management system written in PHP which doesn't even use a database.

It's the system I use for this website... when I re-wrote it the other day, I didn't feel like typing lots of HTML code so I just imagined a very simple syntax for the pages to be parsed by some PHP code.

I may write a syntax highlighting script for editing Lisa pages with Vim, one day.

Syntax :

• Sections :

sectionID:	Section title
	Section content... first paragraph
	Second paragraph, etc.
:sectionID

• Links :

	(Link name@link_address)

is printed : Link name

• Unordered lists :

	* First item
	* Second item
	* etc.

• Ordered lists :

	# First item
	# Second item
	# etc.

• Note that only the first * or # determines the type of the list :

	# First item
	* Second item
	* etc.

will produce :

1. First item
2. Second item
3. etc.

• A list is closed with any line not beginning with a * or a # (including blank lines).
• Lisa will not interpret lines beginning with a +, this can be used to enter raw HTML code :

+<pre>
+blah
+	bleh
+</pre>

gives :

blah
	bleh

• Definition lists :

dl:
> Definition term
	= Definition
	= Definition 2...
:dl

displays :

Definition term

Definition

Definition 2...

• Dashes :

-- is replaced with an em-dash : —

Where to find it :

Lisa's source code. It's just a PHP function which expects an array of lines to parse (the output of file(), for example).

Finally

I don't know if it is of any use to anybody, but for me it is. If it can help even only one other person, then I'm satisfied with it.
