Quoting from the MultiMarkdown site: + +>MultiMarkdown is a modification of John Gruber's original Markdown.pl file. It uses the same basic syntax, with several additions: + +> 1. I have added a basic metadata feature, to allow the inclusion of +> metadata within a document that can be used in different ways based +> on the output format. + +> 2. I have allowed the automatic use of cross-references within a Markdown +> document. For instance, you can easily jump to +> [the Introduction][Introduction]. + +> 3. I have incorporated John's proposed syntax for footnotes. Since he +> has not determined the output format, I created my own. Mainly, I +> wanted to be able to add footnotes to the LaTeX output; I was less +> concerned with the XHTML formatting. + +> 4. Most importantly, however, I have changed the way that the processed +> output is created, so that it is quite simple to export Markdown syntax +> to a variety of outputs. By setting the `Format` metadata to `complete`, +> you generate a well-formed XHTML page. You can then use XSLT to convert +> to virtually any format you like. + +MultiMarkdown would solve the BibTex request and the multiple output formats would make the print_link request an easy fix.
