Please forgive what may be a stupid question…
I’m new to typo and trying to post with markdown from textmate via
the blogging bundle. The post goes through fine, but the markdown
filter is not automatically applied. If I root around in the admin
interface and edit the post to apply the markdown filter manually,
all is fine. Is there any way – possibly something obvious I’ve
missed – to apply the markdown filter to xmlrpc posts automatically?
(I’ve set markdown with smartypants as the default from the admin
interface, and that works fine from markdown posted from there;
similarly html from textmate seems to work OK…)
Alternatively, if there is no easy way, does anybody have pointers/
advice to the appropriate code to start work on a work-around/
solution? (presumably somewhere in the meta_weblog_service.api?)
Thanks for any time and advice…

allbests,
Not a stupid question at all!
I had to find this out the hard way.
What you want is to add the line:
Format: Markdown
Into your headers. The easiest way to make this happen by default is to
run
TextMate and choose File → New From Template → Edit Templates from the
menu, click on the arrow next to the Blogging → Blog Post (Markdown)
template, then double click on the untitled.blog.markdown document
you’ll
see there.
Now, just add the Format: Markdown line right after the Title: header.
That’s it, you’re in business. Any new Blogging Markdown posts you
create
will have the header like and will make typo DWIM.
If this requirement is documented anywhere, I couldn’t find it, and I’d
love
to be pointed at it if it exists
