HumaneText
At some point I need to try out HumaneText to speed up my XHTML writing. Might be especially handy for this blog.
[See the discussion on 43 folders]()
Update 1: I'm trying it now. Can't get it to work easily. HumaneText (the service, I haven't tried the 'unix filter' mentioned in the comments above) doesn't seem to work at all BBEdit, and I need to try 2-3 times to make work in Text Edit. Doesn't seem like a miraculous time saver so far. I was really excited for it though - it's a great idea.
Update 2: OK, I got it to work well in BBEdit instructions on Daring Fireball. I'm using 'command+shift+>' as the command. I'm not going to set it up as a Blosxom plugin, because I'm so used to writing in XHTML it still feels slower to write in Markdown. I'll try it for a while and see what I think.
In my next actions list: write a markdown cheatsheet in my moleskine to use until it's a habit.
