Pointed out to me by Josh Works, this newer version of Markdown for Python is faster, cleaner, more complete, and API-compatible with the pervious version. In a 10-minute play-with session, it feels noticeably faster, with no apparent negative side effect. w00t! Visit site »
Via Jacob, here’s a clever method for using Markdown to insert images into the content of a blog post, article, or whathaveyou. As Jacob notes, it’s similar to the concept of “inlines,” pioneered in Ellington, and later implemented in Nathan’s Basic Apps and my Savoy. It’s not as flexible as inlines (with inlines, you can insert any object, not just images, and you can access all attributes of your object, not just the file URL), but it’s a lot simpler, too. If you just need to plop images into a chunk of text, this will work great. Visit site »

I wish it didn’t use Prototype.js, but this little textarea toolbar is exactly what I’ve been wanting: it spits out Markdown, Textile, or bbCode and has a live preview. Perfect for the little custom CMSes I’ve been making in Django for small sites like Trio Hair (which are almost always based around Markdown). Visit site »
