and life goes on
they say that deaths come in threes... for me, it was these: 1. scott wannberg, los angeles poet, one of my favorite performers 2. michael hart, founder of project gutenberg, icon and iconoclast 3. steve jobs, seemingly the only guy who made stuff work correctly i'm sure that for others, dennis ritchie is on their list, for his own trio: 1. c 2. k&r 3. unix godspeed to all

fried fish, available, for free
i've released the first beta of my e-book converter-tool. you are invited to throw stones at it (and at me) if you like: > http://jaguarps.com "beta" is a compromise. i developed it on a mac, so that particular version is solid. but "alpha" would be a better label for the status of the windows and linux versions, so if you have one of _those_ machines, and you

a blade of grass cracks the sidewalk
spring has sprung, so on this day of grass, i guess i just can't hold this back any more. > http://zenmagiclove.com/aarp2.py voila. a dingus for zen markup language. lighter than markdown. _and_ more powerful... i know. wha? go figure. not that it's a competition. supporters will love finally seeing a look. detractors will love the bugs i left in there, just for them, as

fan_fucking_tastic
While I empathize with your predicament, I generally prefer not to have expletives in my inbox. Also, what has this to do with markdown?

on the philosophical aspects of a specification
a specification will _eventually_ be used, by someone, to tell the user they are doing things "wrong", won't it? and doesn't that turn markdown's genesis upside-down? heck, next thing you know we'll be telling them to r.t.f.m. i would prefer that implementers get more sophisticated about teasing out the user's intent in "ambiguous" cases. of course,

can you see the future?
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

Markdown development
Not only is [Markdown] dead, it's starting to smell really bad. (Apologies to Pike.) It's author appears to have little interest in developing the tool and participating in the community which uses it. I'd like to see the community cooperate toward a specification which addresses the shortcomings and ambiguities of Markdown (even if it need be released under a new name).

can you see the present?
here's a little present for y'all... > http://jaguarps.com/tools/jaguar-editor-727.png that's a screenshot of my latest project... i've slapped a little text-editor in front of my e-book conversion routines, so that the feedback loop becomes much tighter, goosing the learning process considerably. no more mystery about whether it's right; if it looks correct in the

markdown conversion routines
i am considering writing converters between my "zen markup language' and "markdown", but i don't know which version of markdown to target. i'd think it'd be the "pandoc" version, and i understand that to be closest to "multimarkdown", but gruber has said he "disagrees" with "almost every part" of multimarkdown's syntax

uniform type indicator
this is fascinating: > http://daringfireball.net/linked/2011/08/05/markdown-uti i don't know (and don't care about) any possible significance of such a pronouncement on a "uniform type indicator", but i think that it's interesting that gruber has decided to make _any_ type of statement on markdown, with the big moves now underfoot, and doubly so when he chooses to

congratulations to fletcher penney
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

macchiato -- so much for the markdown grapevine

Proposed table specification (long!)
Gentlefolk, I have been thinking on Markdown's lack of "proper" table support for a long while now. Here's where I have arrived... ## I Don't Like HTML Tables It is often argued that embedded HTML is the way to markdown rich tables. Unfortunately, this contradicts the higher markdown ideal that a raw markdown document (including tables!) should be good 1. Firstly for
