If you find this interesting, you might like Pandoc (see http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/try ). That's a "try it online" page, not quite meant for online authoring but could be made to be. Also available as a standalone utility app and a (haskell) library. I've found this works well, and I love the selection of input/output formats.

This is really good too! I was just looking for an interactive solution, since Markdown is really simple for the lay user to use.

#14Shouldn't an become a ? It currently doesn't. But cool little tool, starts up faster than dreamweaver :)
In markdown, you need to precede the with two spaces to get a

As I understand it, Markdown syntax was inspired by email syntax, so we have > for block quotations, * for unordered list items, etc. By this reasoning, a single newline may just be the email client wrapping the text, whereas a double newline means the writer is starting a new paragraph.

#15Is that link to AttackLab correct? It seems to take me to a shady spamblog. http://i.imgur.com/13tap.png

I don't think so.
Re: Markdown Editor
#17Pretty 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. [1] http://markdownpad.com/
I actually created and open sourced my own Markdown Editor, Marker:
https://github.com/chrisledet/Marker
I was inspired by Mou. Clean and intuitive versus a WYSIWYG editor. Best of all, it's free and open source!

#18http://joncom.be/experiments/markdown-editor/
This is from Sept 2010, so it seems a bit outdated.
For my site, I've been using the code [1] which powers the StackOverflow editor and it works great. It would be pretty easy to set that code up in a page like this one above and you'd get buttons for making things bold, which seems handy.
Re: Markdown Editor
#19Curious is this open source licensed (obviously the code is on the page)? I'd actually like to use it for something.
If you want i've done this under a MIT license a while ago ; it's not a full markdown experience but...

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.
And on GNU/linux there is ReText
