MultiMarkdown Formatting

[fieldnoise]

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to use Bookends to generate citations and bibliographies in MultiMarkdown (plaintext) formatting. Basically, I'm just trying to modify the Chicago style by replacing the italicized titles (Title) with the markdown format (*Title*). However, the "*" character seems to be used for some other metadata variable—it looks to be an IP address and port number.

Does anyone know how or if it is possible to change the behavior of "*" to just be a regular-old asterisk?

Thanks!

Craig

Surround it with the "quoted text" characters, $$ or ``

For example

$*$t$*$

In fact, if you want to output the word Title, you'd have to do that too, and it would look like this

$*Title*$

Hi Craig - did this work out in the end? I'm thinking of doing ALA and Harvard Markdown versions and would love to know how it went for you.
