Awhile back I wrote about adding custom tags to the Markdown Plugin in which I created two new custom tags, a "Note" and a "Warning" block. This time around I'm adding an additional custom Markdown tag which is an "Update" tag for when you want to signify that a portion of a previously published article has been altered.
In this article I'll be tinkering with one of Movable Types default plugins, John Gruber's Markdown, which is one of the text formatting choices available when working in the Entry Editor.
The brilliance of Markdown comes from it's powerful translations, combined with it's utter ease of use. Granted, it's not your typical WYSIWYG and did pose a slight comfort curve (the time and effort it takes to adjust to a new way of editing; for me at least!), but after writing only three articles with it I'm hooked!
