looks like my message from last week about writing tools was right on time... we are enjoying a display of fireworks now going off in this particular arena... fletcher started work on an editing app with markdown-preview built right in, after reporting on his blog that he had "seen the future" in ali's post last month, where ali debuted his syntax highlighter, and fletcher is

Hi, because of the great editor "Writer" from Information Architects I've learned about Markdown and I love it. But it's very confusing, that there are so many standards with different features: classical Markdown, Markdown Extra, MultiMarkdown. I think for most users and the spreading of Markdown it would be nice, to have only one syntax. And this universal syntax should have

ok, while i was in the process of writing that last post, fletcher and john weighed in themselves. that's good. i can say some things that they can't, though, so i will. fletcher told you how multimarkdown is booming, and it was an impressive list. what you might not realize is, he _undersold_ it. it is even bigger than he described, and it's gonna _double_ in size in the next

hey fletcher, thanks for your input here. :+) and -- quite obviously -- your program will be whatever it is that _you_ think that it should be. of course. the thing is, i am certain that i have been clear that the feature that i believe will be "killer" is on-the-fly formatted display. that's my stand. and i'd say my reasoning has been equally clear, namely that this

Hi all, I'm a newer user of markdown & MultiMarkdown, and I'm looking for the perfect setup of software for my Mac and my Android phone. I'd like to have my drafts editable from both. What I want is an attractive Mac app for writing (primarily blog posts and emails) that saves its files as .txt . Most of them save as .md or .markdown instead, and since there doesn't seem to

big congratulations to fletcher penney on his release of "multimarkdown composer". at #21-paid when i purchased it just now. i'd say $9.99 will be best in the long-term -- don't listen to people who say more -- but $7.99 is the _right_ introductory price. word-of-mouth will be what sells this pup, so you want it to flow copiously right now. -bowerbird -------------- next part

It appears that Markdown will process ampersands contained within HTML comments if that comment is part of a markdown paragraph, but will not when that paragraph is contained within an HTML block of it's own (and therefore ignored by Markdown.) For example: This is a markdown paragraph with a comment that *will* be processed <!-- This & *will* be converted -->

Dear fellow Markdown enthusiasts, As you all might know, Markdown is a highly context sensitive language that the (often regex-based) syntax highlighting mechanisms in existing editors struggle to keep up with. I have taken John MacFarlane's excellent peg-markdown compiler and modified its parser to function as an interpreter for syntax highlighting purposes. The end result is a

How can we improve URL detection in Markdown? I posted a question on Stack Overflow and happened to click a URL in my post. To my surprise, it wasn't functional, and it took three different, nonintuitive manipulations before I achieved a functional URL. Stack Overflow says "not my problem", so I'm deferring to Markdown itself. Here's a

I was interested in going back to research past discussions on the list about possibilities for a syntax to add a class="foo" to div's and/or span's to Markdown text, but didn't have much luck. IIRC, the list never had a searchable web interface, but older posts were available on a Google search. This seems not to be the case any more. Can anyone recommend a good

A lot of people have expressed interest in combining math features with Markdown, but I am not aware of any real developments from these requests. I was looking around and toying with [ASCIIMathPHP](http:// www.jcphysics.com/ASCIIMath/) and integrated it with MultiMarkdown and my xhtml2latex XSLT transforms. You can include math as an inline formula by using a markup similar to inline

It appears that "double angles" are not properly converted when they are not in code blocks, if there is not a space following the second `<`. For example: This is not handled <<properly>>. But this <<is>>. As is << this>>/. becomes: <p>This is not handled &lt;<properly>>.</p> <pre><code>But

I'm currently attempting to write a spec for parsing Markdown Extra, and since one goal is to minimize the differences in output between implementations, I've made a tool allowing me to compare who does what for any given input. I hope this can also facilitate future discussions about the syntax. So here's Babelmark, a testbed for various Markdown implementations were you

John, you've hit the nail on the head here. I finally know I can manually change my files to the .txt extension (thanks to helpful suggestions here), but it would be excellent if MMD Composer: a) had an option in the drop-down to save with the .txt extension, and b) had a preference the user could set to choose the default file extension for all files. It would increase ease of
