i write all my comments (and my posts, when i do post) in Markdown, and then use a Cocoa TextService to do the conversion right in my browser’s input field.
for trivial comments (one that do not strictly require any HTML markup) the process takes only a few seconds longer than it would take to just let LJ autoformat; for any comment that requires markup (emphasis, links, lists) the process is much quicker and less prone to error than writing the HTML by hand would be for me.
You know, that looks like a really useful set of tools, and I think I may start using them (at least when at home). In this one-off instance I would have used a script to pre-mark the stuff I was quoting anyway, but there are a lot of things Markdown would make easier.
