![]() I can include them all in my Markdown using an emacs macro, a Python script, or whatever I choose. I import images simply by resizing them all in one batch (a snap with Photoshop) and dropping them in a directory. Now with Lektor, my articles are just Markdown files on my hard drive, and I edit them with any tool at hand. Its Markdown editor is merely competent, it isn't built for sharing code samples, and adding multiple images to an article (which I do often) is a chore. Instead, I implemented enough of WordPress's XML-RPC API that I could edit my blog with a commercial WordPress client, MarsEdit. Since the blog engine was just a side-project I skipped the hard part: I never wrote an editor. I wrote it to exercise my async MongoDB driver, Motor. Motor-Blog is my basic blog engine written in Python. The other is the comparison between running a dynamic server versus deploying a static site.

It will end that only nostalgic will use it, since it become not compatible with the last evolution on the OS. Is use to love but don't open it anymore (except for comparison with other tools).Markdown provides a convenient way to add formatting to a plain text document, while leaving it in plain text. It’s simpler and faster than adding HTML markup, and doesn’t have the lock-in of using something like Microsoft Word.
