Cyberpunk Librarian – Episode 35 – Marky Markdown and the Funky Bunch
About this episode
Join us for a new episode of Cyberpunk Librarian where we dig into the markup language that is Markdown. You too can write rich text in a plain text editor and easily share it online! It’s easy to learn and easy to use and will change the way you look at plain text!
Correction: In the episode I credit Aaron Swartz as a co-creator of Markdown, working with John Gruber. In reality, Swartz was an important early tester, but not a co-creator of Markdown. Thanks to Steve Thomas of Circulating Ideas for the correction!
