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

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

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

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

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

"multimarkdown composer" has been out for 4 weeks now, so let's mosey on over to the app store to see what it says... "composer" is #184 in productivity apps, a bit disappointing, considering that it was in the top-20 when it first came out... it's gained only 5 reviews over the 18 it had right off the bat. perhaps even more surprising, to some, is that

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

hello, i am looking for advice regarding the best repo from which to download "markdown" for use on a mac. on my ubuntu machine i just installed some standard markdown package with apt-get. but i have not found anything equivalent for my mac machine. i am looking for a maintained package from a reputable repo site that can be automatically installed and upgraded using the packaging

So, hi all. First time commenting on the list. I personally think having tags (whether of type "author:" or type "by") is useful for two reasons. One: It allows multiple tags to be entered. Two, it clears up the potential problem listed by Fletcher regarding tags. by Christoph Freitag Affiliation: XYZ by Fletcher T. Penney Affiliation: ABC tags: Markdown, Standardization,

I'd love to hear everyone's favorite way to convert markdown to PDF. I'm looking for the easiest, most straightforward option. >From what I've gathered, the method needs to include something like LaTeX in order to have it paginate correctly, so I'll need to install that as well. Is this correct? When I've used the simple export-to-PDF options in Marked, MMD

let's talk about writing tools that use markdown (or more broadly, another form of light-markup)... to begin with, there is the markdown "dingus"... from a demo perspective, it has been _fantastic_. it has provided interested observers a quick idea about the simplicity and the power of markdown. as a writing tool, it's a bit clunky; it will work, yes, but i'd doubt many

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

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

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

Hi list Would anyone suggest the most simple approach to automatically number sections and sub-sections ? I usually use more than one tool to edit my Markdown files, including Byword, Textmate, etc. Thanks in advance Christian Trotobas
