Marsedit and Markdown Quoting
by Ardekantur
I’ve specified an alternate mechanism for quoting things from NetNewsWire and sending them to MarsEdit to post about, to wit:
[#title#](#url#):
> #body#
This works superficially, but if the body I’m quoting has more than one paragraph, clearly only the first one will have the quoting caret in front of it.
Any decent text editor should make email-style quoting easy …
But I don’t think he imagined the use cases that Markdown might encounter, which is interesting because there’s a quote from him displayed on MarsEdit’s website stating that nearly everything he writes for Daring Fireball is through MarsEdit. Hmmm.
