Well, it was a long time of nothing here on blog.furred.net, but today I wrote another extension for BlogEngine.net.
It was a quit simple task, because I just used two nice libraries, which are already existing for serveral years.
I had the idea for this extension a few weeks ago, but unfortunately I forgot the name of this libary. lol! But I found it again. 
You may ask what the extension is for, and I will answer with two words: wiki-like (one) formatting (two).
Yeah. That’s it!
The whole thing works quite fine, even with my syntax highlighter. Before you ask: No, I’m not using TinyMCE or some other wysiwyg editor to write my blog posts. Plain old textarea (or let’s say multiline textbox
)
Lets come to the libraries I mentioned.
The first one ist a Markdown library for .net written by Milan Negovan.
And the other one is Smarty Pants. A .NET version comes with Markdown.Net

The extension will be released when I know if it works with the current version of the engine. I had no time to perform an upgrade.
Update 07.Dec.2007
Today I performed an upgrade to the most recent BlogEngine version from svn, and tested the extension. It worked, so I put the code online. So grab the extension now! 
Update 17.Dec.2007
Mh. It seems that nobody is using this extension. Because today I found out, that there was a little mistake in the uploaded version. The text is formatted, but it isn’t replaced, so the original text is written to the user. Download is updated, now it works. 
I’m already using it, and yes, this post is written with it.
Here is some demonstration of the features

Another heading… <- ellipsis
Oh, it’s a quote!
Nested quotes?
Nested quotes!
