Hi Fifty, Yes, I think that pasting Markdown (or other markup) into the form would be fine. Yes, it was Ken's thought that a means of indicating which markup format is being used would be the way to resolve the problem of format recognition. Not sure about the plans for adding this to the form. In the interim, an email would do the trick I think. I have used ReText as a Markdown editor/viewer. It's also capable of handling ReStructuredText I believe. I found it in the Debian repository and found version 5.1.0-1 for Debian Testing. I'm told that Jezra has a project called markdowner, linked from his site at http://www.jezra.net/projects/markdowner. I have not tried this. Personally I use Vim/gVim with the following plugins: https://github.com/godlygeek/tabular https://github.com/plasticboy/vim-markdown https://github.com/vim-pandoc/vim-pandoc https://github.com/vim-pandoc/vim-pandoc-syntax You need 'tabular' with 'vim-markdown' and if you want to go the pandoc route you need both pandoc plugins. I have Vim's spelling capability switched on while I'm editing. I run pandoc out of gVim and view the result in a browser on my second monitor. This might be a rather convoluted solution :-) Dave _______________________________________________ Hpr mailing list [email protected] http://hackerpublicradio.org/mailman/listinfo/hpr_hackerpublicradio.org
