Thanks. I finally blundered my way to that after downloading MultiMarkdown and SmartyPants and putting them into ~/bin which is in my $PATH. MM now works from command line and from Textmate. I suppose, after rebooting my brain, that what i really want is the language definition which lets me use shortcuts.
<br><br>I just discovered MultiMarkdown and have become quite fond of Markdown with TextMate. But Markdown wasn't enough for the websites or compatible with the Wiki. Well done, folks.<br><br>Lewy<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">

<br><br>I downloaded MM and stashed it in ~/Library/Application Support/Textmate/Support/bin. <br>I put MM in ~/Lib ... /Bundles and called it Markdown.pl. I copied a chunk from the demo and tried to preview it. Got lots of "can't find" errors. Maybe I can puzzle this out but if you have a minute or so, a few hints would be really helpful.

<br>Around the time I did this there was lots of chat on ##textmate about<br>various approaches to go from something like markdown to pdf.<br>Several people were very anti xslt, and htmldoc sounded like one of <br>the favorites at the time, and for smallish kinds of documents
