tears for markdown


markdown how I miss you!


Where did all the markdown features go? I miss you. For years I have used markdown and now I find I am unable to write without it. I was forced to use word recently and wrote all 29 pages through gritted teeth and anger. So I thought I would return to my beloved markdown... but whats this ... gemtext? Never heard of it. Poor mans markdown it seems. A blog .. without markdown .. why would you. Its just text! ... oh .. I see.


I really really miss:


nested dot points

block quotes aligned to dot points

inline images

bold text

inline links


...


But my images never looked right and you always got confused about indentation, I could never remember the syntax for links... I just got used to you and settled. Perhaps it is time to look at Gemtext. Something new to complain about?
