"Preview in BBEdit" does not process Markdown as Expected
In the Release Notes for BBEdit 8.6, http://www.barebones.com/support/bbedit/arch_bbedit86.html
I read: If you choose “Preview in BBEdit” when a Markdown source file is in front, BBEdit will run your Markdown source through the Markdown script, and so your preview reflects what the file will look like in a web browser...
STEPS:
1. Launch BBEdit 8.7.2.
2. Create a document named "MarkdownTest.html"
3. Add the following text: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <title>My Title</title> </head> <body> *Italicize This* </body> </html>
4. In menu click Markup > Preview In BBEdit
EXPECTED RESULT:
A document which says "Italicize This" in italics
ACTUAL RESULT:
A document which says "*Italicize This*" in plain text.
My guess: It seems to me that maybe I need to somehow tell BBEdit that "Hey, this document uses Markdown". How do I do that?
If I install John Gruber's Markdown.pl in the Unix FIlters folder and click in the menu #! > Unix Filters > Markdown.pl, then I get (almost) the expected result
<p><!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <title>My Title</title> </head> <body> <em>Italicize This</em> </body> </html></p>
I say "almost" because of the unexpected <p> tags, but that's not the fault of BBEdit.
Thanks,
Jerry Krinock
