Mermaid

Mermaid is a JavaScript based parsing engine that allows you to embed blocks of graph markup into a page. Markdown Monster supports two different approaches using either code block or HTML tag syntax to embed the mermaid blocks.

You can use a mermaid code block:

Defender's real time protection can significantly slow down disk and IO bound operations on Windows, so if you're doing disk intensive work or stress tests I find turning off Defenders Real Time Protection can improve performance drastically.

The following Powershell script provides a quick way to turn Powershell Real Time protection on and off quickly. Dump this file into a folder on your path to quickly turn.

Marking up the World with Markdown

Markdown has easily been one of the most influential technologies that have affected me in the last few years. Specifically it has changed how I work with documentation and a number of documents both for writing and also for text editing and content storage inside of applications.

Markdown is a plain text representation of HTML typically. Markdown works using a relatively small set of easy to type markup mnemonics to represent many common document centric HTML elements like bold, italic, underlined text, ordered and unordered lists, links and images, code snippets, tables and more. This small set of markup directives is easy to learn and quick to type in any editor without special tools or applications.

In the past I've been firmly planted in the world of rich text editors like Word, or using a WYSIWYG editor on the Web, or for Blog Editing using something like Live Writer which used a WYSIWYG editor for post editing. When I first discovered Markdown a number of years a
