Pretty cool. I'd like a simple editor that worked like this as a desktop application. I also noticed that code blocks don't seem to work properly: http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax#precode

On Windows I use MarkdownPad [1] which does exactly this. It also allows you to get read of needless UI elements which I very much appreciate.

I guess there is similar tools for Linux and Mac OS X.

Shouldn't an become a ? It currently doesn't. But cool little tool, starts up faster than dreamweaver :)

In markdown single line endings are ignored when the lines broken by them might be construed as forming a single paragraph. (It's actually one of the fiddliest bits of markdown.)

This rule is quirky -- sometimes you'll end up with (for example) bullet points merged into a paragraph through this quirk.

For Mac there's actually Mou which is super pretty and just like this. It's in beta and free for now but it's Lion-only and one of the 2 reasons I upgraded. It's that good. It's at mouapp.com. Thanks for the Linux tip, I could use that one.
