exactly. thanks for writing it up, nick. the only thing i'd add is the notion that tables should be copyfit to the viewport. if the viewport gives you plenty of room, give the columns some breathing space. if not, tighten them as much as needed. *** > http://readown.googlecode.com/ cool. now how about an authoring-tool? bbedit? um, no thanks. i never understood the appeal of a text-editor with no support for styled text. _simpletext_ had styled text! sorry, if you don't do styled text, you do suck. i use tex-edit, from tom bender. fantastic. doesn't just _support_ styled text, but also lets you _do_searches_ with specific styles. and it costs $15, with free updates for life. that even gets you the fucking source code. heck, i'm gonna send tom $15 more today, because that guy is an asset to the world... i'll take another look at mars-edit as well... *** and while i'm here causing a fuss again, let me ask the big questions once again: who's gonna write the browser plug-in? and who's gonna get markdown bundled right into the very _guts_ of the browser? i want to _serve_ markdown files per se, and avoid the stupid .html middleman... the world is full of technical dummies who will kiss the feet of the person who gives them the means to return to "the old days" when .html was a simple thing to create... today's xhtml/css mess is one sick joke that the technoids pulled on the public to reassert the role of "required experts". it's time to disintermediate them again... that's my opinion, and i'm stickin' to it... *** david said: > The comment that started this sub-thread > was a throwaway line, really ok, sorry i made even a small deal about it. but still, now you've got my curiosity going... while granting anyone and everyone my _full_ permission to use _whatever_ font they prefer, even if someone else thinks that it might not be the best tool for the job, i am wondering about the "expectation" markdown brings to the table. (ha, look, i made a little pun, to be lighthearted.) gruber, if you're reading, would you answer this: do you use a monospaced font to write your blog? or to write _anything_ that you do with markdown? -bowerbird ************** A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above.
