Thank you for asking, it's been so long I don't recall how to use this forum. I 
was able to get my resume submitted successfully, however I was not accepted.

Re: Installing Markdown

One gotcha:  There are about a zillion implementations of Markdown.  Be
sure that you don't use a feature that isn't implemented in your reader's
version.

Re: Installing Markdown

[Alan Hogan]

Yes! There are quite a number of such tools. GitHub Gists themselves have a 
preview / result view, IIRC, but it’s not side-by-side. There are websites that 
do this, though, and desktop software, as well. I don’t use Windows, though, so 
I can’t recommend any for that system.

Re: Installing Markdown

[Marios Zindilis]

For this use case, you don't have to install anything. For convenience, you
can use an online editor, like http://dillinger.io/ to help you edit your
document, then copy the Markdown text and paste it in a Gist.

Re: Installing Markdown

[Alan Hogan]

The thing is, if you have been asked to submit a document in markdown format, 
you don’t need any software at all, at least not beyond your favorite text 
editor (or Github's website itself). Just use .md instead of .txt as the file 
extension. Markdown the software takes a Markdown-formatted document and 
outputs an HTML document. At that point, you would no longer be submitting a 
Markdown doc.

And yes, markdown.pl is a command line tool. You are expected to invoke it from 
the shell.
