Markdown in you emails

Post by Germanunkol »

I made the mistake of following Roland_Yonaba on Github, now I get notified each time he stars a repository, so I spend way too much time browsing other people's code. :D

... that's how I ended up finding Markdown-here.
It's a plugin for many browsers and email clients, which allows you to write your mails in markdown and then render them. That's incredible cool. What's even better though is that it allows you to render code in your emails as well, with proper syntax highlighting!
This means you can write Lua code in your emails with a nice style of your choice:

Example
trAInsported - Write AI to control your trains
Bandana (Dev blog) - Platformer featuring an awesome little ninja by Micha and me
GridCars - Our jam entry for LD31

I know how you feel. I’ve been doing it for months and now I have bookmarks for twenty-seven million GitHub projects.

I have been using ‘Markdown Here’ for a long time and love it because I love Markdown for everything. Outside of emails I use Pandoc for converting Markdown into a multitude of formats, which I've found to be very useful for writing documentation.
