It doesn’t really intend to render to plain text—at least, a while back when I looked for a Markdown-to-text renderer I came up empty. A bit earlier in this thread I mentioned reStructuredText. From what I can see, this format is basically “like Markdown but renders to text”. What if Perl went this route instead? -FGThread Previous | Thread Next
