  • renderStory callback

    I just found and fixed a problem with Markdown tool’s renderStory callback. It seemed that if you had an OPML file or ODB outline in which you were using the `#renderOutlineWith` directive; it wouldn’t render properly. Simply put I’m making the assumption that you can only use a single renderer at a time. Therefore if…
