This is the beginning of a new post. 

Enjoy the thrill of it. 🤪

I'm just doing this because I've set a breakpoint in the code and want to see what the data looks like at that point, so I can think about creating something else from it.

I realize now that kids who are learning how to program now are going to be a whole other thing from the rest of us. 

In my generation the ace we had was personal computers. I had the briefest taste of what it was like to work on mainframes in an office environment. We were able to do much more user-focused work when we did the programming on the user's machine. Big difference. 

Anyway. Back to my breakpoint. #

Good morning. Still thinking about which of the items on my list I'll deal with today, but first I have to remaining problems with the stuff I made yesterday.

I implemented the cute paste feature in Markdown view in the editor. 

When you paste a url into a selection, the text you selected becomes a link to that url.  

Since it's in Markdown you get the link in Markdown form.

Posted a video demo on Scripting News.
