I even maintained Vile and Xvile in the FreeBSD ports tree for a number of years, but I stopped doing that a while ago. -- Gary Jennejohn

The documentation for xterm alone is enough to give me a lifetime of horrors. But New Year is an opportune moment to say a sincere thank you for all the work you do, on vile and other software. I am just returning to vile now, but I use other software like xterm all the time, and am very grateful for it.

Thank you, Thomas. I'll see what I can come up with myself in the meantime. I'm under a little pressure myself, and philosophy, not hacking, is my area, which is why I tried to pull a fast one by asking!

Referring to https://fletcherpenney.net/multimarkdown/ it says that's a superset of markdown. vile's "txt" mode can be fooled into doing _part_ of markdown, but it's not really that close. I was using it for that a month or two ago, and concluded that it would require yet another syntax filter to do the job, and added that to my to-do list (but as usual I'm working on other stuff). -- Thomas E.

Markdown syntax file
Does anyone have a Markdown syntax file available? Preferably with MultiMarkdown support.
