I love the coding that Super User and all of the other StackExchange sites uses for editing/created questions and answers... markdown. It's easy to use. I'm wondering if there is a way to enable the use of markdown with Live Writer? Is there a plugin to do this? A hack or work around?

I wasn't able to find any markdown plugin for Live Writer, but there are other text editors that accept markdown.

A well-known example is WriteMonkey.

  • Although this is not directly the answer to the question (anyway, switching to WriteMonkey would solve the problem in any case), I agree with you (+1).

I created a Markdown plugin for Windows Live Writer called MarkdownInLiveWriter. You can have a try.
