Export Asset to Ray Peat Forum Format

[marcuswhybrow]

• When I complete a transcript I post a copy in raypeatforum.com
• I just copy an asset's raw markdown into the "New Thread" input form.
• This works well enough, but has several pit falls
  1. [[Mention]] syntax is copied raw, ugly, verbose, & confusing.
  2. URLs (usually within a mention) are often visually replaced with the URL's HTML title.
  3. Bold, italic, and other markdown formatting is left as raw characters.

Proposal

• Build a new command: Ray Peat Rodeo asset to Ray Peat Forum converter
• I believe Ray Peat Forum is a forum tech called xenForo
  • Deduced from "Paid Registrations by AddonFlare - Premium XF2 Addons" in forum footer.
• I believe xenForo forums use Bulletin Board Code format.
• Therefore, I could parse an asset using my existing markdown parser and extensions.

New Render Code?

• Perhapse (is this possible) I could just replace the "render" code for each extension to target BB code.

HTML to BB Code?

• Or perhaps convert to HTML as normal, then convert from HTML to BB code?
  • However, much HTML output would be unreproducable in BB code (i.e. mention popups)

New Transformer?

• Use a existing markdown parser and extensions, but add a "transformer" to change the rendering in small ad-hoc ways.
