With help from Tobias O’Leary, the Markdown Service Tools can finally do in-place conversion from (Multi)Markdown to RTF. The primary reason for wanting this was to allow people to write Markdown directly in Mail.app, then convert it immediately before sending. Put a shortcut key on it and it’s a snap.
Thank you Brett for this.
Very handy.
It might pay to update the installation instructions on the script info page.
It suggests using Homebrew for installing multimarkdown package, yet that puts the binary in a location this Automator service isn’t expecting.
Therefore, if using Brew for the install, it’s necessary to set up symlink, sudo ln -s $(which multimarkdown) /usr/local/bin/multimarkdown will do the trick. I suggest adding a mention of that in the instructions.
Again, thanks very much for these handy MD scripts.
Regards,
Jonathan
Does that Service work anymore, even with MMD in the right place? I thought that one was defunct at this point…
