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

"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

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

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

ok, so let's take stock of things on the first of august... fletcher penney has updated multimarkdown to 3.1... plus he's working on finalizing his editor-app, which it seems he has christened as "multimarkdown composer". brett terpstra is rewriting-from-scratch his "marked" app. ("better sooner than later", he says.) from my experience, i decide to

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

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

so, the rumor is that apple will announce an authoring-tool for e-books tomorrow, and most specifically for digital text-books. and, if you look closely, they _are_ rumors. nothing more... plus, they don't even seem to be coming from sources inside of apple. nonetheless, the rumor is "authoring tools". "garageband for e-books", as ars called it... if it's true,

wine: 1.3.4 OS: slackware 13.1 (32 bit), 2.6.36-rc7 kernel I downloaded and installed the most recent version of Scrivener for windows (beta). The issue i"m having is exactly this: http://www.literatureandlatte.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=8617&start=0 I start the program, try to create a document, and am told that the file create isn't compatible with that version.

I''m having a problem where the DRb server seems to be disappearing (crashing?) and I don''t know how to track down the cause or work around the problem. Unfortunately I haven''t found a way to reproduce the problem, but it seems to happen fairly often (maybe once a day). Other then that ferret seems to be working well. I can''t seem to find any trace of the

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

Hello Everyone, Has anyone installed Markdown for Coda, Writeroom, Textwrangler, or OS X? I'm really interested in using this more but I'm interested in finding the best way to use. Biggest win for me would be for it to work from within Writeroom. Textwrangler would be next, followed by OS X, and Coda would be almost useless. I did see that MacPorts has 2 different distros of markdown

so much for the markdown listserve grapevine... it ends up that there has been a markdown-savvy display-in-real-time app for a couple months now, by the name of "macchiato", coded by a college kid. > http://getmacchiato.com > http://kswizz.com/post/8624456381/macchiato > http://mac.onedayoneapp.com/macchiato/ > http://shawnblanc.net/2011/08/macchiato/ >

I know things have been quiet lately, but I wanted to announce a couple of MultiMarkdown related happenings: 1. I am in the process of creating a new website, and MultiMarkdown is one of the first things to be moved. The new address is <http:// fletcherpenney.net>. A new look, a new URL, some new technology, and some new content. I have not moved much from the old site yet, but

I have released version 2.0.a of MultiMarkdown! This is an alpha/beta release to get some further feedback, but I have been using it for a while now with good results. There are a **bunch** of new features: * TextMate bundle * New versions of the Drag and Drop tools * support for math * improved XSLT style sheets - easier to customize and more output choices Check out the MultiMarkdown
