Markdown for Web writing
I started out with a love for Posterous but the glitches, as I encountered on this post, make it unusable.
Instead, see my Markdown example on Wordpress:
In short, the beauty of Markdown is that it allows a mobile journalist or any web writer to produce content rich in links using a plain text writing syntax that requires only four additional characters to produce a link. And only one character to quote a paragraph. You can write on any platform but have rich HTML come out on the other side.
The plug in Wordpress is using is Markdown for WordPress and bbPress.
