Have you ever pasted application code into a forum thread and saved it, only to see your comment broken and garbled when you refresh the page? This may have happened to you, and as developers it is imperative that our code samples are properly formatted.

Markdown is a lightweight markup language that corrects this frustration. It is easy to read and easy to write, ensuring your content is formatted properly. For those not familiar, spend some time going over the official Markdown Syntax Guide at Daring Fireball. If you are the Learn-By-Doing type, check out the Web Dingus. As an example, we will demonstrate the main syntactical elements used by most developers, which are bold, italics, links, lists, and code blocks.

I _really_ like that [Developer Connection](http://developer.omniture.com) supports `Markdown`.  I can now post rich code like this!

$response = $api->sendR

	if(request.getMessage().equalsIgnoreCase("completed")) {
	try {
	/* Connect to the URL */
	URL url = new URL( request.getData_url() );
	URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();

	/* Attach the Security Header (X-WSSE) */
	connection.addRequestProperty("X-WSSE", getSecurityHeader( "<your user name>","<your shared secret>" ));
	connection.setDoOutput(false);
