I’m sure I’m like seriously late to the party, but if I’m late, then I’m sure a ton of people are late as well. Recently been getting back into writing on a daily basis. It’s actually been easier than I thought, but one of the things that I aim to do is basically write and think in Markdown.

For those who don’t understand what that is, basically it’s a syntax for writing words that can be converted into other formats, with all sorts of embellishes (bold, italic, links etc), while maintaining a simple text file.

Obviously then you realise that there is the next step up which is MultiMarkdown and even something called Maruku which basically enhance the original Markdown with additional options and syntax, and extend the functionality to things other than websites.

The idea of just writing something in text which can then be converted into any number of formats that can be used in a number of ways is something that not only appeals to me, but i wish I’d copped onto this amazing benefit years and years ago. Trust me, don’t make the same mistake I did.
