I have seen the benefits of using John Gruber's, Markdown. Quoting
Gruber, "Markdown is a text-to-HTML conversion tool for web writers.
Markdown allows you to write using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write
plain text format, then convert it to structurally valid XHTML (or
HTML)." You can read more about this tool here: http://
daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/
If you use OmniOutliner and know about Markdown, I sure you have seen
Fletcher Penney's, Omnioutliner Markdown Plugin found here: http://
fletcher.freeshell.org/wiki/OmniOutlinerMarkdownPlugin
This plugin works very well when you want your OO rows to be
headers. However, I would like to customize a OO template to include
such things as an ordered list.
So here is what I have done:
1) For all level rows, I have set markdown code in the prefix of the
row inspector. For example,
level 1 prefix #
level 2 prefix ##
level 3 prefix * text
2) After writing a document exporting plaint text (fixed width)
This works spits out this:
# Class 1.3
## Intro
* this
* that
* this
The problem is there are no line breaks, so it won't work as valid
markdown code. So, is it possible to create line breaks so that your
exported plain text file would look like:
# Class 1.3
## Intro
* this
* that
* this
Thanks for any thoughts!
