Download Markdown 1.0.1 (18 KB) — 17 Dec 2004 Introduction Markdown is a text-to-HTML conversion tool for web writers.

Markdown

Markdown allows you to write using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain text format, then convert it to structurally valid XHTML (or HTML). Thus, “Markdown” is two things: (1) a plain text formatting syntax; and (2) a software tool, written in Perl, that converts the plain text formatting to HTML. The overriding design goal for Markdown’s formatting syntax is to make it as readable as possible.

The best way to get a feel for Markdown’s formatting syntax is simply to look at a Markdown-formatted document. (You can use this ‘.text’ suffix trick to view the Markdown source for the content of each of the pages in this section, e.g. the Syntax and License pages.) Markdown is free software, available under a BSD-style open source license. Discussion List I’ve set up a public mailing list for discussion about Markdown. Installation and Requirements Movable Type Blosxom BBEdit.

Each file's name is the same as the wiki page name. And, each wiki file consists of optional pragma lines followed by the content of the page. Optional pragma lines provide metadata about the page and how it should be displayed. These lines are only processed if they appear at the top of the file. Each pragma line begins with a pound-sign (#) and the pragma name, followed by a value. Paragraphs. Collaboration. 10 things Gen Y do online.. and shouldn't. The Generation Y.

10 things Gen Y do online.. and shouldn't.

A generation that has grown up with the buzz of ringtones in their ears, eyes glued to various screens and computer monitors, and have no doubt on more than one occasion shoved a parent aside on the computer because they were 'too slow'. Yet, there are a number of things that this generation should know not to do, and it still happens -- from falling for a phishing scam to trusting self-generated company product reviews. What are ten common mistakes we make online? 1. Assume our online activity is anonymous Whether it is posting a comment on an article, or running a search for a product, your online activity is stored.

Inappropriate Facebook pictures on your profile really could lose you a job

In one of the biggest ever studies of the importance of Facebook profiles among job hunters, American scientists found that employees increasingly use the social networking site to weed out unsuitable candidates. 'While employers are using Facebook to monitor their employees, they have also begun to use it as a screening tool when considering potential candidates,' said Vanessa de la Llama of the Florida International University in North Miami, who led the research. Pause for thought: Employers are increasingly checking the Facebook profiles of potential staff. Joe Kraus - Culture of Distraction. A few weeks ago I gave this rough presentation on a topic called “SlowTech”.

Joe Kraus - Culture of Distraction

I wanted to cover three things We are creating and encouraging a culture of distraction where we are increasingly disconnected from the people and events around us and increasingly unable to engage in long-form thinking. People now feel anxious when their brains are unstimulated.We are losing some very important things by doing this. We threaten the key ingredients behind creativity and insight by filling up all our “gap” time with stimulation. And we inhibit real human connection when we prioritize our phones over our the people right in front of us.What can we do about it? I’ve pasted the text of the speech below (sorry, it’s a bit rough). Remarks for SlowTech talk – CONSTANT CULTURE OF DISTRACTION I want to start with some imagery of the way we live today. I want to talk three things tonight As a culture, we’ve got a crisis of attention. Part 1. I don’t think I have a healthy relationship with mine.
