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 (create it if it doesn’t exist) and they’ll show up in the Appearances preferences of MultiMarkdown Composer.

Fletcher Penney’s1 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 all know about it as soon as possible!

I’ve made a small update to QuickQuestion. It adds the ability to specify part of the answer to be copied to the clipboard when one of the scripts (Alfred, Launchbar, CLI) runs. You format it with and use it inline. The @copy syntax is stripped out when the answer is displayed, just like @(metadata). So if the answer to your question is a command, url or anything else you’re probably going to copy and paste anyway, just add something like this:

I ran into an interesting problem this evening. It actually started a few days ago when I noticed that my qq script wasn’t returning searches within the @(metadata) I set up in the note bodies. I figured I’d come back to it when I had time. Then I got a couple of emails from readers who had also noticed this, so I started digging. It turned out that Spotlight had stopped indexing text content of all files with the extension. If I renamed the file to or , it would work fine, but…

I’m buried in a little project I’m calling “Pinboard Beyond” this weekend (it’s Instapaper Beyond for Pinboard). I thought I’d take a little break, though, and let you know that two apps from Eternal Storms (creator of Yoink) are on sale right now at 60% off on the Mac App Store.

I had a strong urge to make a new TextExpander snippet this morning. I think the Date Math features of TextExpander that Donald Curtis turned me on to with his Date Time group got me thinking.

Quick tips are random posts regarding something I discovered on my way to something bigger. They usually get longer than “quick” would imply, for which I refuse to apologize.

Congrats to the winners (who should already have been notified by email)! The rest of you should pony up that four bucks and help a dev out!

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’m hoping the fact that it now functions as a mini web development tool and handles multiple custom styles makes it worth the extra buck to other folks, too.

I’m barely qualified to write about Steve Jobs. I’ve only been a Mac lover for about 8 years; when I was younger I laughed at Mac users. When I started using Apple products, I only knew Steve Jobs as a name. In the past few years, though, I’ve witnessed the genius and discipline that Steve Jobs injected into Apple, and I’ve come not only to respect him, but to consider him a personal hero. I can’t express how deeply saddened I am that he’s gone.
apple, steve jobs
