MT -> WP
I won’t comment on the MT « found the beef » pricing policy. Except to say that anybody fitted with an average level of sanity could see it coming. We blog here since Greymatter & evolved through all MT versions up to 2.661. Will it stay like that? Who knows.
We could consider « Moving from movable type to WordPress »:http://blog.carthik.net/vault/2004/05/14/movabletype-to-wordpress/ (« via »:http://www.scriptygoddess.com/archives/005121.php). We looked at WordPress before, w/o being impressed. Have a second try ?
The « MT is no more free » cabal led me to « 75 »:http://75thtrombone.com/blog/.

Reading Anne
* Read in the comments of « Power To The People: Relative Font Sizes »:http://www.alistapart.com/articles/relafont/ an article @ « ALA#176 »:http://www.alistapart.com/issues/176/ the following (by « Anne Van Kesteren »:http://annevankesteren.nl/): « IE goes into quirk mode if _anything_ is before the DOCTYPE It is some kind of myth that IE only goes into quirks mode when a XML Prolog or PI is used before the DOCTYPE. Using a comment can already do that. »

Myriad
Simon Willison (whose Blog is frequently read here) looks inside « easy ways of hooking markup conversion in to existing applications » « here »:http://simon.incutio.com/archive/2004/04/13/myriadOfMarkupSystems.
We looked into « an extensive list of MT-Plugins related to markup »:http://mt-plugins.org/archives/cat/text_formatting.php, and « some »:http://pear.php.net/pepr/pepr-bbcode-help.php « others »:http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html pointed to us by Simon (Disclaimer: we use MT-Textile, derived from « Dean Allen »:http://www.textism.com/about/’s « Textile »:http://www.textism.com/tools/textile/, also cited by SW).
We are tempted to say: none has yet proved to be a real catcher.
Look at it: we all want to write fast, as fast we think, adding just the minimum markup, to obtain a well-marked text, with lovely nested and validating XHTML output… As « one »:http://jclark.org/weblog/ puts it: « I find authoring blog entries in XHTML adds to much friction to the process. Instead of typing what I’m thinking, I end up thinking about what I’m typing. » [« here »:http://simon.incutio.com/archive/2004/04/13/myriadOfMarkupSystems, scroll to datestamp *13th April 2004 15:41*]
Who will build the ultimate text-formatting tool? The one wich I could use without refering to a (small, I concede) list of markup tips, and who will understand all my markup, allowing me to underline an hyphenated wording without using plain vanilla «HTML»?
