> What are your experiences?I prefer Markdown for the following main reasons: - simplicity (I feel that Markdown's input text is cleaner, more legible than Textile's) - its ability to intermix HTML (great for blog entries) - the Python Markdown library has a nice "safe_mode" attribute which can get rid of HTML tags if you don't want them (great for escaping comments and other untrusted user content) - I like the way Markdown does hard breaks only when asked explicitly unlike Textile's "always break on \n" behaviour. I have no practical experience using reST. In any case, you should do some research of your own. Also, perhaps look at other Django bloggers that you trust and see what they like. I suppose you are already doing this via your post :) For comments, you don't really need much more than the ability to do links, bold, italics, and paragraphs. Any of your above 3 markup languages will deal with that easily. -Rajesh D --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
