1 Supporting or switching to MultiMarkdown would take care of a few of the outstanding feature requests. Quoting from the MultiMarkdown site:
3 >MultiMarkdown is a modification of John Gruber's original Markdown.pl file. It uses the same basic syntax, with several additions:
5 > 1. I have added a basic metadata feature, to allow the inclusion of
6 > metadata within a document that can be used in different ways based
7 > on the output format.
9 > 2. I have allowed the automatic use of cross-references within a Markdown
10 > document. For instance, you can easily jump to
11 > [the Introduction][Introduction].
13 > 3. I have incorporated John's proposed syntax for footnotes. Since he
14 > has not determined the output format, I created my own. Mainly, I
15 > wanted to be able to add footnotes to the LaTeX output; I was less
16 > concerned with the XHTML formatting.
18 > 4. Most importantly, however, I have changed the way that the processed
19 > output is created, so that it is quite simple to export Markdown syntax
20 > to a variety of outputs. By setting the `Format` metadata to `complete`,
21 > you generate a well-formed XHTML page. You can then use XSLT to convert
22 > to virtually any format you like.
24 MultiMarkdown would solve the BibTex request and the multiple output formats would make the print_link request an easy fix. MultiMarkdown is actively developed and can be found at:
