: think of what you would get when using a commandline browser like lynx or w3m on a terminal with out colors or bold text. what you see there is potential input for this task. i do not expect all such input to be parsable, but a reasonable set that goes beyond just paragraphs.--[[User:EMBee|eMBee]] 12:36, 5 January 2012 (UTC) |

:: It is going to be difficult to compare implementations if none of them are doing the same thing. And, for example, the open ended concept of "plain text tables" pretty much guarantees that any implementation which does not ignore that part of the task will be different from any other implementation where a "copy of implementation" relationship does not exist. A lack of examples will also make comparison difficult. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] 18:11, 5 January 2012 (UTC) |

::: doesn't that depend on what level you compare? even with exact input and output requirements, how do you compare solutions when one uses regexps and the other uses a state machine? the algorithms will be completely different. as tasks get more complex the comparability will have to be on a higher level. in this task the highest level of comparison is: plain text goes in, html comes out. examples will surely help, but i think these too need to come out of this discussion. once we can agree on a reasonable set of requirements, we can create a few input examples to test the requirements on.--[[User:EMBee|eMBee]] 02:57, 6 January 2012 (UTC) |
