Re: [julia-users] Markdown Strings as Messages
Maybe this was obvious for most, but for those who didn't realise it, stevengj mentioned in 1009 that `display` will correctly render a MD object. Christoph

Re: [julia-users] Markdown Strings as Messages
Markdown.jl lives in base Julia now so it should probably go there. On 1 February 2015 at 15:18, Christoph Ortner wrote: > should this go in Docile, Lexicon, or Julialang? > Christoph >

Thanks for the clarification. It would be really great to have this functionality, especially, if it can be combined with MathJax! Thanks, Christoph

Re: [julia-users] Markdown Strings as Messages
This is something I've been thinking about as well, and overloading `print` etc. to work with markdown is definitely doable. I'm not sure how it would work in IJulia, but it would definitely be ok in the terminal. Use md"" unless you're writing inline docs (you might have to do a using Base.Markdown first). At the moment both are interchangeable but the idea is that doc"" needs to treat e.g. relative image and link paths specially, and may potentially also add things like reference syntax.
