Customer Reviews
Excellent resource
I've been using Markdown for over a year, but the extra tips in this book (especially for MultiMarkdown) are invaluable. Well worth the money whether you're getting started in Markdown or just want to refine your workflow!
Just buy it
I have to be honest, I never saw the point of Markdown - I don't write blogs or publish to the web: until recently, when I had to write a big report. I drafted it on my iPad in multimarkdown ( in Byword ); finessed it on my MacBook (in Multimarkdown Composer) then exported it as an rtf to my boss who uses a corporate windows laptop. Who then pasted it into his report in Microsoft Word. Who then got really big congratulations from the REALLY big boss for such a quick turnaround.
Thank you David Sparks & Eddie Smith
Out of date
A good intro to markdown, but many of the apps and websites listed no longer exist. Even nvAlt no longer works well on the latest MacOS and was last updated years ago. I felt a little annoyed I had spent money on a worn 'second hand' book.
