As all WordPress (yes, I still use that) Markdown plugins I tried (which is exactly one) are quirky and org2blog is too complex for short one-sentence blog entries (I’d need to spend more time on using org2blog than on writing the actual prose), I am currently considering to write my articles in a simple text editor again and pipe it into pandoc so I can stick with the Classic Editor (which prefers HTML).

This was a good moment to switch from Acme to Sam again which works just fine as a “better ed”. I wonder if there is a way to control Sam via 9P though, which would reduce the number of commands needed to convert the current buffer to HTML to just one.

(I did that in Acme once and it worked beautifully, but Sam is different in many ways.)

edit: FWIW, the pipe command works just as well.
