Does anyone have any comments > on this problem? Is it likely to be fixed? Since you cross-posted, it's not clear to me who you are expecting to "fix" this. It doesn't seem like a problem in Blosxom, though. The content of your posts is changing, readers see that and mark the changed content as new again. I can see that from your point of view this is a mis-feature of markdown, but it doesn't seem that blosxom could do anything to help you here.
First, I'm glad you answered, Kevin. Thank you. Second, it strikes me that this is a Blosxom/Markdown incompatibility, and therefore a problem for _both_ the Blosxom and Markdown developer communities. If no one wants to fix (or "fix") it, it should at least be documented. I am a technical writer by trade and will be happy to document the problem if someone will point me to the documentation leads for both projects. Ron H-E -- Ron Hale-Evans ...
