Fixing Markdown Series @ Manuscripts News

[Marty McGowan]

Dennis,

   my interest in following this discussion, now that i see you here, just went from observer, to tracker,   maybe even participant.
   i'm an emacs orgmode user.  are you?    i've used pandoc to convert *.org to *.md (and some back again).   my criteria for using either:   OrgMode for stuff not needing curating when i'm gone, Markdown for text I'd hope that others will maintain.   in this latter category, i've collected the text from my sister's genealogy work on Ancestry and am re-purposing it to live on McGowans.Org
   Here's a tally by suffix of the files in this legacy:

  1 m4
 65 md
 58 mkd
341 org
  1 src
 66 txt

where the mkd (certainly) and the txt (likely) are Markdown, with src and m4 each having a spot.   so, it's  Orgmode 341,  Markdown 191.
   any advice here?

Thanks,
