I’m not talking about the tweet you just sent about a tasty donut. I’m talking about stringing a sentence together that’s more coherent than a test-lab baboon.</p> <p>Countless times, I find myself staring into the glowing abyss of my laptop screen fishing for words or fiddling with font formatting. This was until the day I discovered the power of markdown. Markdown will change the way you write by allowing to focus on your writing… and nothing else.</p> <h3>What is markdown? (description for non-techies)</h3> <p>Markdown allows you to write and format your documents without your hands ever leaving the keyboard. It uses a very simple syntax to format documents. For example:</p> <ul><li>“#” = Heading 1 </li> <li>“##” = Heading 2</li> <li>“-” = Unordered list</li> <li>etc… Read the full <a href="http://bywordapp.com/markdown/syntax.html">syntax guide</a></li> </ul><h3>Why you should use markdown</h3> <h4 id="itseasy">It’s easy</h4> <p>The syntax is dead-simple (it can barely be called a syntax). Even non-technical users can pick up markdown very quickly.</p> <h4>It’s fast</h4> <p>Once you pickup the syntax, formatting your documents is light speeds faster than using Microsoft Word.</p> <h4>It’s flexible</h4> <p>Not much is more flexible than plain text. Your document can easily be converted into HTML, Rich text, Word, Email etc.</p> <h4>It comes to life with apps</h4> <p>Here are some amazing apps that make using markdown even more enjoyable.</p> <h4 id="iawriter"><a href="http://www.iawriter.com/">IA Writer</a></h4> <p>A markdown editor with a beautiful interface, IOS and Mac apps, dropbox and iCloud support.</p> <h4 id="byword"><a href="http://bywordapp.com/">Byword</a></h4> <p>Byword is my personal favourite for it’s easy shortcuts and flexible export options.</p> <h4 id="marked"><a href="http://markedapp.com/">Marked</a></h4> <p>Marked allows you to easily preview your markup documents, apply different formatting using css and has a wide range of export options for publishing.</p>http://number6.me/post/21778915980http://number6.me/post/21778915980Wed, 25 Apr 2012 08:10:00 -0400markdownwritingproductivitybywordiawritermarkedapp<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/33091687" width="400" height="225" frameborder="0"></iframe><br/><br/><p>Too much time… Too much talent…</p>http://number6.me/post/21432265335http://number6.me/post/21432265335Fri, 20 Apr 2012 08:14:54 -0400artdrawingcinematographymotion graphics
