Styling Markdown approaches

[Sherwood Botsford]

There is a babel markdown web site that you can see how various dialects
convert markup.

The only html I use in on my website now is the <div> tag, usually with a
class or ID.  This controls my layout.  MMD has sufficient table handling
for my purposes.

So for me, my MD looks like this:

# This is a title
## And a subtitle underneath it.

This is intoductory text on my page

<DIV class=picr4>

![Image alternate text](http://path/to/Image)

caption to the image above, explaining it's relevance to the main text

***
</div>

Class picr4 is styled to float right, and be 40% of the width of the
container.  I have a half dozen classes.  Caption text is styled with
.picr4 p {  so that it is visually distinct from the body text

So far I've not found much else that I need.

I don't think you want to make changes insitu.  However take a look at
stackexchange.com  They use a subset of MD as their site markup language
for user replies, and they compose MD in one window and display it in
another.  It's a good way to do this for interactive use.
