   Hi Jens,

   The first two are headline syntax, for h1 and h2, and strikethrough is not supported by Markdown or MultiMarkdown extensions.

   Hi again,

   I meant to say that the underline versions of h1 and h2 does not work for me (as shown in the example) Is there any way I could get strikethrough to work? I installed and pointed out the gems mentioned in the github markdown article, but that doesn't seem to work either?

   So if you paste the exact text you put into the first message into a blank text file and open it in Marked, you don't see headlines? Are you running a custom processor?

   Discount is the only processor I know of offhand that handles strikethrough. If you install Discount and set your custom processor to /usr/local/bin/markdown (or wherever you chose to install it), you should be able to render that.

   Hi,

   Im not using a custom processor, but even if I do I get the same problem. After experimenting a little I figured out that it is the 'Retain line breaks in paragraphs' that breaks the headlines. If I uncheck that option it works just fine.

   And also It seem that custom processors are not working. If I comment out all of the code in my custom processors or put a raise statement in it, the rendering of markdown still work...

   If the Markdown renders, then your path is probably incorrect for your custom processor. The current version of Marked doesn't give you an error if it can't find the processor, it just ignores it. It's also not great about encoding spaces or expanding tildes. This is all fixed in the next version, but for now what does your custom processor path look like?

   Hi,

   That was exactly my problem. My processor wasn't found, but it showed me no errors. I manage to use a custom processor in the end though, now everything works great.

   thx for your time. Once again. Great App!
