Does anyone know of any larger newspapers or publishing companies that use Markdown? Several times I've noticed glitches in web page articles, posted at larger newspapers, where emphasis has been indicated by underlines and have wondered. Robert McGonegal

I know I frequently see asterisks and underscores used for emphasis even by WYSIWYG users (in Word documents, say.) Regards, -- Aristotle Pagaltzis // <http://plasmasturm.org/>

However, this was about 10 years ago but I don't know if things have changed since then. jem
