OK - I have found out (after much misery) - you need to tag the item as MarkdownFormat.
Then it works - sort of. I have found that the most basic thing does not work - lists. I cannot get lists to render correctly. Neither unordered or ordered do not sort properly. One thing that is worrying about this is that the MarkDown plugin has not been modified since 2005 - I am sure that TW was not using JQuery back then. I am wondering if I should abandon TW altogether now and save myself a whole world of pain. I cannot even check what has been rendered by the markdown formater because view source does not show me anything other than java script... Questions: * is ANYONE using Markdown successfully with TW? * Why does each wiki insist on reinventing it's own Markup - even if you just used wikipedia systax - why yet another markup? another a YAML - Yet Another MArkup Language PS - I am not a programmer and thus blissfully ignorant of Java, and happily so.
