Markdown extension

Some good folks had experienced issues setting up their WikiPack accounts recently when trying to import their Trunk Notes pages. They selected the /trunksync folder, as you would, but WikiPack wasn’t smart enough to know that it should import their pages from the /trunksync/notes folder, so they ended up with an empty wiki. Sorry about that…

As a solution, it now prompts you to select your default Markdown extension and uses that both to check that the selected folder actually contains Markdown files, but also to filter out any unwanted files like .html, .css, .etc :)

Did you know that there isn’t really an “official” standard Markdown extension? Some people use .md, some .markdown. How about you?

Here’s a list of all the common extensions I’ve seen in use:

• .markdown
• .mdown
• .mkdn
• .md
• .mkd
• .mdwn
• .mdtxt
• .mdtext
• .text
• .txt

Another cool thing I didn’t mention in the video is that now when creating new pages, it will ensure that they always have your default Markdown extension, so you don’t have to worry about typing it in (which I often forget to do anyway…).

I hope this update makes the initial Dropbox import process much smoother!
