This document will detail how to enable Markdown on your blog, and how to write with it. You can use Markdown on your blog for posts, pages and comments. Markdown is used by writers and bloggers who want a quick and easy way to write rich text, without having to take their hands off the keyboard, and without learning a lot of complicated codes and shortcuts. Markdown lets you compose posts and comments with links, lists, and other styles using regular characters and punctuation marks. This is how to set up your site so that it recognises Markdown. Of course, WordPress has to be able to recognise Markdown markup, which it can if it is set up to recognise it. You then copy and paste into a WordPress post. Well it is the distraction-free page and the fact that you can use Markdown syntax. So you might ask, what’s the point of using Ulysses with the intent of publishing to WordPress? That feature is promised for a future version, but at the moment it can’t be done. There is no way to send anything direct to WordPress from Ulysses. I used to use nvALT – and the main reason that I changed to Ulysses is that I was carried away by a review of its features. I use Ulysses to write and to keep notes and information in one place. If you love to write, and write a lot, you’ll love Ulysses III. With its simple, clutter-free interface, it will turn work hours into fun time. With a few clicks, Ulysses can create beautiful documents from your manuscripts: PDFs, web pages, even iBooks-ready ePubs. It keeps all your texts neatly stuffed in its intuitive library. Ulysses lets you focus when you need to concentrate.
