Testing a couple of new things in Drummer today. Below you see the use of markdown to render a quote. I am struggling to determine the best way handle quote attribution. Decided on a lead in to the quote and a simple source anchor link.

As noted yesterday, both test positivity rate and new cases are rising in Michigan, indicating increased community spread. New cases are highest among young people, and while they are not as high risk for death, they present a risk of spreading the disease to people who are at risk.

Detroit's William Beaumont Hospital:

"What we’ve seen is that generally around 65-70% of all of our COVID patients in the hospital at any given time are unvaccinated,” Gilpin said. “That holds true for any COVID patient who comes into the hospital. That number is also approximately the same for our ICU patients." source

- I like the idea of markdown node types in Drummer to add more control over telling Old School how to render text. At a node level it probably makes more sense to use markdown for formatting that applies to the entire node. Great for quotes and code blocks, for example. Typeface formatting like bold and italics can be done in Drummer via standard control keys. #
- When using Drummer to write stories (essays, pages, etc...) I would like to be able to add an OPML head that would tell pagePark that the entire OPML source file has markdown formatting. We could start with just using markdown inline to indicate heads, lists, etc.. but would love it if at some point pagePark would simply treat parent nodes as H2s rather than the collapsable heads it renders today. #
- Today pagePark renders an OPML source to what I call a HTML outline format, for example see this page, which I like for some cases but not all. In other cases I want the document that I write in Drummer to render to a standard, flat HTML page in which parent nodes are simply treated as H2s. I think support of a markdown rendering directive in the OPML head would be a great way to accomplish this. #
- While I am thinking about it, I'll note here that what I really want is for Drummer to support the Story format that was in Fargo. A story format renders an OPML file into a single HTML page, in a manner much like what you see when you click the head link above except that I could define a different page header graphic and the title for the page would replace the blog title. #
