He also provides a reverse script so you can edit existing posts by first converting them to Markdown, editing them, and converting them back before republishing. Nifty!\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThis is a really cool example of a MarsEdit user taking good advantage of the scripts menu to extend the application&#8217;s functionality. As you might imagine, I get a lot of requests from users who want to see a particular feature added to MarsEdit. I love it when the feature can be sort of &#8220;prototyped&#8221; as a proof of concept with AppleScript. I could see functionality like what Drew has put together being incorporated into the standard distribution of MarsEdit at some point. As development moves forward for 2.1 and beyond, I am going to aim for making the app even more user-extensible, because that&#8217;s where the most exciting ideas comes from. It&#8217;s ideal when users can not only come up with the idea but also implement a working example!\n<\/p>\n<p>\nIf you&#8217;re interested in <a href=\"http:\/\/daringfireball.net\/projects\/markdown\/\">Markdown<\/a> but not using a weblog server that supports it natively, Drew&#8217;s scripts might make a nice addition to your MarsEdit configuration!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Drew Thaler has put together a pair of scripts for streamlined use of Markdown in MarsEdit, when the blog server is not configured to automatically process Markdown for presentaton.
