For those who don’t know what Markdown is, it is a text-to-HTML perl script that generates valid XHTML or HTML from very simple and easy-to-read markup. The markup can also be characterized as “Markdown”(Markdown syntax). It was written by John Gruber(http://daringfireball.net). There is a PHP port and a Ruby port.

A nice utility called SpotInside

According to the programmer:

Spotlight was introduced in Mac OS X Tiger. Spotlight can search the local hard drive and it is great! However, Spotlight only displays a list of the files that contain the query keyword. Users must open each file to see what it is and how the keyword is used in the file. That’s ridiculous and I think Apple should improve this bad user experience. That’s why I made this small software, SpotInside, which shows its contents just by clicking the result list and it highlights the keyword as well.

Here is the link: SpotInside
