JLJ Markdown Support

[marcmagus]

As I alluded to in my last post, I've configured JLJ to format my posts using Markdown for conversion to HTML. Getting it set up was a little trickier than I'd expected, due to a flaw in the JLJ documentation.

To get JLJ using Markdown, you must add the following to your .livejournal.rc:

format: external preformatted none jerry
formatter: /usr/bin/markdown

Obviously, you should replace the path if your markdown is installed elsewhere. In theory, I expect one should be able to use an alternate processor; I may try multimarkdown sometime.
