- 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. #
