[MlMt] Markdown questions

[Volker Kopetzky]

Hi there,

I'm loving MailMate and just bought it after using it for two weeks now.

One of the reasons I chose it was Markdown. I love to write/compose in 
plain text yet most of my email recipients prefer HTML formats and 
MailMate provides the best of both worlds.

To become more than happy, I have a few questions that I couldn't answer 
by myself.

#### 1 - How to add a line break to lists
```
   * some list text
     a second line in the same list item
```

```<br />``` and ```\
``` do not add a new line.


I know that more than 4 spaces indents the text correctly, but it adds 
an vertical space (another line) which breaks the visual connection.

* Top Level
   * Second Level
      * third level

          third level that needs an empty line newline
   * another second level
   * a very long line that breaks nicely: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, 
consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore 
et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud 
exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. 
Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum 
dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non 
proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum


#### 2 - programming languages

I would love to see programming language support for syntax coloring, 
yet the _```language_ annotation has no visible effect, although the 
language name is excluded from the HTML output. If I remember correctly, 
this syntax is also not part of the standard markdown but used quite 
often, e.g. 
[github](https://help.github.com/articles/github-flavored-markdown/#syntax-highlighting).

Maybe it's possible to integrate some library/addon?


For example, this code is marked as php:

```php
echo phpinfo();
$var = 1;
```


#### 3 - tables
This is least important for myself, still I am curious on how to create 
one.

This does not work:
| cell1 | cell2 | cell3 |
| cell4 | cell5 | cell6 |
| cell7 | cell8 | cell9 |

If anything, what does?


Again, thanx for MailMate, for your time and for your help in advance!



Beste Grüße | kind regards,
Volker
