Today I added Markdown support to the site’s submission wizard. This will allow authors to write their stories in that format and submit it.
Of course, the same limitations as html format still apply. In fact, the wizard will receive the submission in Markdown, run the markdown converter on the text and then pass it through our html converter/stripper.
In order for text to be converted by the markdown converter, the file name must end with .md.txt. Otherwise the markdown converter won’t kick in.
