Re: ultimate markdown editor wishlistbowerbirdd

Great list. One thing I haven't seen anyone implement (or anyone but myself ask for) is hanging indents for list elements. The nearest I've gotten is in TextWrangler/BBEdit by selecting the "Reverse" option for "Soft-wrapped line indentation".

Can I be the only one who finds nested lists hard to read when all items wrap to the left edge of the window?

It occurs to me I'd like to see blockquotes fully indented too.

Just to clarify, you mean 

> like
  this

? If so, and you're on a Mac, my editor[1] does that. It has some bugs with the indenting of ordered lists, but
works reasonably well for blockquotes and unordered ones. If you mean outdenting, I think iA Writer does,
or used to do this.

bugs have been fixed)

Re: ultimate markdown editor wishlistbowerbirdd

Wow, MarkEdit is the nearest I've seen to the Markdown editor I really want. Yup, it does what I meant with
indentation. iA Writer is beautiful and does *pretty* well with Markdown, but MarkEdit does better.

The Markdown grammar used by the TextMate 2.0 alpha release does this.

Indeed! It's pretty good, but unlike MarkEdit it doesn't indent blockquotes (by which I mean moving in the
left margin) and links aren't clickable.

Nice to see that I am not the only one who's wanted better indentation in Markdown editors.
