I was written something that required a Markdown parser and I didn't feel like going on this huge detour to write a Markdown parser in Scheme, so I just used the Discount library and that's it. And reading and emitting strings is actually a nicer interface than what you'd normally write with Discount - took me a while to backtrack and redo it, it was going to be something much more complex to begin with. In any case, I am not to sad to see the Discount egg die. Give it an horrible death. -- Stephen
