I will start of with an example of what I would like to be able to write in Markdown. --- This is a dummy paragraph, it would of course be longer than this. This is just another dummy paragraph; however, after it comes some pictures of my cat. http://www.example.com/pictureofmycat1.jpg http://www.example.com/pictureofmycat2.jpg http://www.example.com/animatedpictureofmycat.gif That was nice. Here is an audio recording of my dog barking: http://www.example.com/dogbark.mp3 And finally here is a video of my two pets being cuddly: http://www.example.com/dogandcat.mp4 --- I think it?s clear that the output I am suggesting for this would be something along these lines: <p>This is a dummy paragraph, it would of course be longer than this.</p> <p>This is just another dummy paragraph; however, after it comes some pictures of my cat.</p> <div><img src="http://www.example.com/pictureofmycat1.jpg"/></div> <div><img src="http://www.example.com/pictureofmycat2.jpg"/></div> <div><img src="http://www.example.com/animatedpictureofmycat.gif"/></div> <p>That was nice.

Furthermore it downgrades quite nicely. There are of course problems it does not solve and extra complexity it would introduce; however, I thought I?d write this short email to see if anyone would be interested in discussing the idea.

Are you suggesting that a paragraph consisting solely of text that looks like a URL should be treated specially based on its file extension? Something along these lines could work, but would probably be quite fragile.
