I'm beginning to think that I don't want any syntax highlighting in  
Markdown. I suppose the ideal would be for code blocks to be  
highlighted according to the language in that block, but not having  
highlighting doesn't affect me much. Except when taking notes in a  
programming class, I don't write code directly in Markdown, I paste  
it into my Markdown documents from the original source files--which  
are, of course, properly highlighted for the language.

I've only been back to using TextMate for a couple of weeks now, and  
don't feel comfortable mucking around inside it yet. And I've spent  
too much time undoing "quick fixes" to want to jump in and change  
TM's behavior before I get a better understanding of how it works and  
how I work with it. So for now I'll just backspace to get rid of the  
extra indentation.

Thanks for the explanations.
