After the succesful launch of Bö, Perl edition, I am pelased to announce the immediate availability of the Bö plugin for WordPress. It can be downloaded here.

Bö is a preprocessor for John Gruber’s Markdown, a text-to-HTML filter that translates an easy-to-read / easy-to-write structured text format into HTML.

Its primary (and currently only) purpose is to add smart footnote functionality to Markdown.

Credits to Ölbaum for the Perl coding (He did the brain-work, I barely translated to PHP).
