Markdown usage ??

[Abarbarian]

I need to write something using the MARKDOWN text format. I found sites for how to use it.

But am unclear as to how to proceed.

Do I just write as normal in any text editor or office prog. ie: Kwrite, Vim, open office, AbiWord putting in the special markers ??

Or do I have to download Markdown and integrate it with another program somehow ???

Personal experience: zilch.

Maybe this blog post will help you with collecting your thoughts (provided that n>1, of course):

Ta Urmas your link didn't get me any further than I had already gotten. However it did lead me to this,

http://antrix.net/stuff/writr/

So i downloaded it and unpacked it and cd'd into the directory and tried to install but I ran into a brick wall.

these are the files inside the directory,

-rwxr-xr-x 1 bloodaxe bloodaxe 5564 2005-10-20 17:32 writr.py*

As there was no "configure" file I tried to install but get this,

[root@localhost writr-0.1]# make install
bash: make: command not found
[root@localhost writr-0.1]# sudo make install
sudo: make: command not found
[root@localhost writr-0.1]# sudo install
install: missing file operand
Try `install --help' for more information.
[root@localhost writr-0.1]# run
bash: run: command not found

So any ideas on how to install and use this program ????
looks like Linux has me beat again.

OK, downloaded it... it doesn't need to be installed per se... just unpack it, navigate - using file manager - into "writr-0.1" folder, and double click on "writr.py".

Yous da man

Now I can get busy. I got a secret but I ain't going to tell just yet. Yous is going to laugh big time when I tells all, either that or you'll shake your head and wonder what the worlds coming to.

Lemme guess... you're putting up a Britney Spears blog?
