@Kendall : neat script. thanks again.
@Kendall+Watts: One additional request-can the scripts be modified to pick
the first character on the line and then use that as a bullet? for e.g any
of the following could be bullets in my MD document ("+","-","*"). I have
currently modified your scripts to take care of this, but rather than an
if,else,if,else I thought it would be really cool to have the script
automatically pick up the bullet character and insert.
Cheers and thanks for the great scripts.
