Hola,

It's that possible? ie: Posting using open live writer? (http://openlivewriter.org/) (The automatic Linking is SO USEFUL!!)

If not... it be possible in the near future?

Regards!

Currently, OpenLiveWriter does not support Markdown syntax and so no formatting will be passed on to the post. There are some devs that are working on implementing MD support into OLW however, there isn't a current timeframe.

I never use MD for post nothing... But i know... is a great system :D

The main reason i have for use OLW is the Automatic Linking, with that i can "link" with an url a single word or phrase... ie tags or keywords, better for the SEO, for the search engines and of course, for the reader :P

Regards!

Sure:

You can add a "Role" ie: Everytime i will write Bludit, the word "Bludit" will be converted to an hyperlink to http://www.bludit.com...

Perhaps there is already an extension for one of the editors that can be used with Bludit.

But why not use a tool like the add-on Clippings:

I would much rather see us focus on the browser extension route than a windows OS based app. It's really cool to blog from one place and I can see some benefits to OLW, however, if you want it universal and truly opensource and available to anyone, anywhere, any OS...focus time and energy on using extensions in the browser.
