Hi,

Markdown allows for human readable formating. h1 headers are generated
with '=' signs, so

this line
====== translates to <h1>this line</h1>

For aesthetic reasons I like to have the '=' underline the same count
of characters as the line above it (monospaced font presupposed).
Being a klutz at applescript I managed to splutter together the
following script:

--- start ---
tell application "BBEdit"
tell window 1
get characterOffset of selection
set theSel to (startLine of selection)
get theSel
set theCount to count characters of (line theSel)
set theLine to return
repeat theCount times
set theLine to theLine & "=" # use "-" for h2 headers
end repeat
select insertion point after line theSel
set selection to theLine
select insertion point after selection
end tell
end tell
--- end ---

The script works fine but I have the dim feeling that this could be
done
more elegantly and much shorter. Perhaps some applescript ninja out
there has some hints on this? I'm willing to learn.

(and if not: as this works maybe some other Markdown users might find
this helpful)

Regards, Roland
