Using Markdown locally

[Lee Underwood]

Markdown is a fantastic program (which I am sure you already know). It saves me a lot of time. Currently, I use the dingus located at: http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/dingus

However, I am trying to set one up just like that, locally - on my own system, without having to use that one (wasting the bandwidth, and having to switch to the site every time to use it).

I am running Ubuntu.

(I have seen some alternatives but, so far, using the dingus as above is the easiest by far.)

Thanks,

Lee Underwood
