∞ Elements update adds Markdown footnotes support

Written by

Justin Williams on Wednesday released a new version of Elements, his text editor for iOS, adding many new features and fixing some bugs.

[ad#Google Adsense 300x250 in story]Built for iPhone and iPad, Elements 1.6 adds support for rendering Markdown footnotes in the Markdown preview as well as dictionary lookups via the Terminology app for iOS from Agile Tortoise.

The new version also adds larger font sizes, Debug Logging setting, in-app crash reporting, and Spanish Localization. Several bugs, including fixing the appearance of startup images, and having Web view resize contents when rotating with the Markdown preview visible, have also been fixed.

Elements uses Dropbox to store all of your data, so it’s available whenever you need it. Elements costs $4.99.

    I think it would be interesting to see the format for Markdown footnotes that are supported, since support for footnotes was never officially added to the Markdown spec.

    FINALLY! FINALLY! FINALLY! So tired of seeing Elements on the menu to open a video file.

    Can someone explain what Markdown is good for?  Why is that a desirable option?
