OK ladies & gentlemen, time to test [tinydown](https://github.com/WebReflection/tinydown#tinydown) for real. ### What's New Well, first of all there are [35 tests](http://webreflection.github.io/tinydown/test/) with nice and/or screwed input and an expected output to complete the library so that any improvement or change will not compromise what's already working. The second thing is ... **I am using tinydown now**! You can check the source page of this post and see that all it contains is markdown. ### What's Different There at least two things different: * it supports more inside the image markup, such youtube and gists * it supports twitter handlers, like @WebReflection * even if so damn small, like less _than 2Kb_ minzipped, it supports nested blockquotes and lists `inline code` is also available together with triple tick syntax and/or tab and spaces so that var code = 'can be be written multiline'; function alCodeIsPreserved() { with(out) { alert('problems'); } } I also implemented only here the highlighter for js so ```js var code = this.should(); code.look('gorgeous'); ``` ### What's Missing I don't know yet, I think almost everything I need for blogging should be there. The library is compatible with both _node.js_ and web browsers, of course, and if tests are green you should good to use it runtime in your blog too or any other place you think. Last but not least, you can **test everything** you want in [this page](http://webreflection.github.io/tinydown/test/test.html live test) and eventually file bugs copying the generated link with your content so it will be straight forward to see what's broken, the why and the how. Have fun!

Great!
RSS feed is not parsed!
which reader are you using? 'cause I thought Readers were death :D
Readers aren't dead at all!
I'm totally bummed to see I can't access you content from feedly/flipboard!
I'll try that but I've made many changes that should be OK for your reader too ... I guess ... is this the case?
not fine yet :/ RSS is just as dead as occassional blogging is - if you don't post for a month, do you expect us to come back every single day twice?:)
Adaam I'm trying to make everyone happy ... I am having less and less time to blog and with markdown it takes nothing to do it in a beautiful and simple way.
Please consider my last post and, as example, I found frustrating I had to write HTML to put a link in this comment too !!!
Markdown FTW!
