From kde Tue Jan 12 14:52:23 2010 From: Sergei Andreev Date: Tue, 12 Jan 2010 14:52:23 +0000 To: kde Subject: Re: [kde] KMail rendering bug Message-Id: <929375171001120652n5cb9bc2ay52a94835d0b23c6f () mail ! gmail ! com> X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=kde&m=126330803220375 Looks like working Markdown: "Markdown is a lightweight markup language, originally created by John Gruber and Aaron Swartz to help maximum readability and "publishability" of both its input and output forms. The language takes many cues from existing conventions for marking up plain text in email. Markdown converts its marked-up text input to valid, well-formed XHTML and replaces left-pointing angle brackets ('<') and ampersands with their corresponding character entity references. Markdown was originally implemented in Perl by Gruber, but has since been re-implemented by others in a variety of programming languages. It is distributed under a BSD-style license and is included with, or available as a plugin for, several content-management systems." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markdown 2010/1/12 Daniel A.
