  • Minimum Requirements

    There’s no good way around it. Anyone who wants to use the Markdown tool will have to be running the latest version of [Radio][1]. The reason is so that the UserTalk Markdown renderer written by [Marc Barrot][2] will work. Marc’s script requires the kernelized `re` verb. This is only present in the Radio application v8.1…

    I’ve made a number of changes to the way the Markdown tool interacts with [activeRenderer][aR]. Firstly, nothing has changed in the way that Markdown interacts and renders the weblog. The only changes were in how the Markdown tool deals with OPML files. There are 3 different ways of interacting with OPML files in activeRenderer. These…
