around bugs in your system's version.
The latest version of Gruber's Markdown seems to be:
http://daringfireball.net/projects/downloads/Markdown_1.0.2b8.tbz
Release note:
http://six.pairlist.net/pipermail/markdown-discuss/2007-May/000615.html
Debian experimental is using this 1.0.2b8 version:
http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=markdown
There are many other implementations as well, and most seem to support

syntax, printing the marked up XHTML to stdout. This patch makes it
easy to drop in any executable you wish.
