<p>And thanks for your prompt reply.</p>
<p>Now that makes sense. SO MMD5 is your latest ‘engine', and
MMDComposer2.8 is your writing client .. right?</p>
<p>Just a thought which might help your customers (I’m not
sure how many get confused like me.)</p>
<p>OK so firstly, I’m not an idiot, I think. I have a degree
in Physics, and am pretty technical.</p>
<p>I’m not a coder, and have managed to stay away from
command line, (to my detriment no doubt). So when I saw using MMD3
(had to be 3) with Scrivener (I’m writing a book) off I went
and found MMD Composer (2.8)</p>
<p>So off I went to your site to get what I thought was a newer
version. Anyway, you can see I got cluster-fuck confused about what
was what .. the command line tool with versions in the 5’s,
and the composer 2.8.</p>
<p>Seems as obvious as breathing to you of course, I get that, but
I got mangled on the way.</p>
<p>Something really clear on your site about what the two things
are etc would be wonderful. But I’m sure you’re run
ragged with guys like me putting their oar in.</p>
<p>Anyway, long story short .. thanks .. love it!</p>
<p>Graham in New Zealand .. I’m sitting up at the cafe now
drinking a coffee and writing.</p></div>I Am Alivetag:support.fletcherpenney.net,2013-02-12:Comment/400951082016-06-14T00:34:43Z2016-06-14T00:34:43ZInstalling MMD on MacOS<div><p>Graham,</p>
<p>First --- thanks for writing from NZ. I was able to visit the
Northern<br>
Island a couple of years ago. Could only stay for 2 weeks, but it
was a<br>
fantastic trip and I can't wait to do it again.</p>
<p>Yes -- MultiMarkdown and Composer are different, but related,
things.<br>
MMD was first, and then I created a text editor that needed an<br>
explanatory name. Hence, MultiMarkdown Composer.</p>
<p>Since MMD itself is a command line program, it doesn't fit with
the App<br>
Store. So I can't put it there. And yes, if you spend enough time
on a<br>
computer, it's worth learning a bit about the command line. Some
things<br>
are just infinitely easier that way. And MMD is one of them.</p>
<p>I'm not clear on whether you ended up getting Composer -- if so,
be sure<br>
to get the beta for Composer 3. It's much better, and I hope to
be<br>
finalizing it sometime soon (if my day job will let me find the
time...)</p>
<p>Hope all is well in NZ, and thanks for writing with your
ideas.</p>

<p>Hey thanks mate. Awesome. I’ll check out Composer
3beta.</p>
<p>If you ever get to NZ again let me know, I’ll buy you a
beer. (seriously)</p>
<p>Have a great day</p>
