Trying to figure out how to create nice articles here. I love using #markdown.

Looking at one post, it looks very rendered from markdown. Looking at its raw data, sure enough, it has markdown headings, links and other things.

OK, so I created a test post with markdown. It then displays it, but as all literal, no conversion. Raw data looks like the article, all my markdown is in the content.

So, how do you use markdown to create a well formatted post?

Does markdown work in posts? Let's find out.
