APA 6th Markdown output

Post by apolaine »

Hi folks,

I don't know how many other people write in plain text/Markdown editors here (like Byword, IA Writer, Elements, MultiMarkdown Composer, etc.), but given the amount of these popping up thanks to so many mobile devices having these apps and associated web services, I pretty much write only in Markdown. At the moment I tend to have to do a final RTF output and then pull that into Pages or Word to satisfy some formatting requirements.

Anyway, I've been wanting to output "styled" text as Markdown formatted text for a while and would love it to be an automated thing in Bookends, but I'm kind of being lazy about that really. You can just use the $ signs around the Markdown tags to output the format as you wish. I mainly use APA, so I made an APA 6th format filter that outputs a Markdown bibliography like this:

Kolko, J. (2012). *Wicked Problems: Problems Worth Solving: A Handbook & A Call To Action*. Austin, TX: AC4D.

I put it up on Droplr here.

If I make any more MD versions, I'll add to this thread.
