I’ve been playing around with some themes for MultiMarkdown Composer, and thought I’d share a few that are turning out half decently. MultiMarkdown Composer’s syntax highlighting uses an extended version of the Peg Markdown Highlight format. You can add themes to ~/Library/Application Support/MultiMarkdown Composer/Styles (create it if it doesn’t exist) and they’ll show up in…

Fletcher Penney’s latest project, MultiMarkdown Composer, is now available in the App Store. It provides a text editing environment with a full set of MultiMarkdown features. Unlike most of the other editors in this area, it auto-continues lists (ordered and unordered) and handles auto-pairing and wrapping. I’m working on a full review to post very soon, but I wanted to let you…

Marked 1.3 just made it up onto the Mac App Store! It incorporates a few fixes and some cool new features. So cool, in fact, that I raised the price to a whopping $3.99.

I just posted a minor update to the Marked Bonus Pack with a few bugfixes for the included Service and AppleScripts.

In response to a tweet from @gl3media, I’ve added a quick modification of the MultiMarkdown to HTML service to the Markdown Service Tools project page. It simply renders the selected text to HTML via MultiMarkdown 2 (Perl) and SmartyPants, putting the result on the clipboard and leaving the original text alone.

I’m super-duper excited to announce that Marked version 1.2 is now in the Mac App Store. It’s a rewrite from the ground up… same great flavor, all new file watching mechanism. It uses Spotlight to track changes now, which is far more stable and adept at handling things like name changes and deletions of open files. The only catch is that you have to have Spotlight indexing turned…

Well, my “secret” project is up and out: Marked was approved by Apple today for sale in the Mac App Store. It’s a Markdown previewer which can watch any text file for changes, updating the HTML preview whenever you save it. It adds Markdown preview to any text editor.

Marked has four built-in styles to suit most tastes, but you can also create your own custom CSS and…
