I registered markdown.io for a year but did nothing with it during that time, so let the registration lapse. I'm happy to reregister this domain name (or to register a different one) and to point it at the appropriate nameservers. David On Monday, 22 October 2012 at 8:24 PM, Boris Le Ninivin

I only ever dealt with .tk domains as a teen when I couldn’t afford a real domain, and they would basically your real site and add advertisements. It wasn’t a good experience. I trust things may have changed since then, but I still don’t ever see or trust .tk domains. On Oct 24, 2012, at 9:23

mdwn.tk is nice and short, but markdown.io could seem like a more official domain IMO. On Oct 24, 2012, at 11:40 AM, Boris Le Ninivin wrote: > I've not tried to use a "redirect" to hide another website's address. I use > their DNS instead, and I see no ads... But I use adblock, so I'm not sur

If you don’t mind empty tags between your blockquotes, you can use the non-breaking space character. (On OS X, that’s option+space.) Normalized output on Babelmark2: http://johnmacfarlane.net/babelmark2/?normalize=1&text=%3E+foo%0A%0A%C2%A0%0A%0A%0A%3E+bar%0A%0A%C2%A0%0A%0A%0A%3E+baz (wow, how

It’s a very good idea to use GitHub wikis, and I don’t want to detract from that *in the slightest.* However, I can’t help but observe the irony of such wikis running GitHub’s customized Markdown. In some sense, it’s the “least standard” Markdown in common use: 1. No HTML allowed 2. Line break
