Markdown and Amiga

Recently i was playing around with a Markdown to HTML library for FreePascal. At work we use a lot of Markdown for internal documentation. The library is quite nice and written in pure Pascal, therefore can be compiled for Amiga as well.

So what to do with it. Of course if the target is a webbrowser a little local server would be the obvious choice. I remember I talked with an OS4 user who had sometime like and „AAMP“ package for his computer. AmigaOS, Apache, MySQL PHP and then some kind of Wiki and used that as a tool to make notes. a bit over the board haha to install such a huge package for it.

So I did something similar but without MySQL, Apache or PHP… just plain Pascal and it works quiet nicely… of course i only have this Markdown2HTML parser not a Wikitext to HTML but i guess its close enough.
