Thanks, Benny!

It turns out that if I open the HTML preview and have that render the 
Markdown, the Markdown is also rendered for printing.  If I don't open 
the HTML preview first, Markdown is printed as ASCII.

Vacation is important!

Having figured out how to get it to render the Markdown, I can live with 
the current code.  I would prefer going back to monospace at some point 
but variable width with rendered Markdown will work for me for now.

Happy to test new development builds when you get around to making some.

Best wishes.
