Org-babel does a magic thing where you get to edit and view your source code blocks in their native modes. Wow! I also happen to use markdown-mode to write blog articles. How hard, on a scale from "read the source and figure it out" to "org-babel already has the hooks; you can do it in 5 minutes," would it be to integrate the org-babel stuff with markdown? Seems like this trick would be extremely useful for quite a few modes (RestructuredText, anyone?) Thanks, -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com

Is it just a matter of defining the mode to use for some new source?
For plantuml I have the following:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(org-babel-do-load-languages
(quote org-babel-load-languages)
(quote ((emacs-lisp . t)
(dot . t)
(ditaa . t)
(R . t)
(python . t)
(ruby . t)
(gnuplot . t)
(clojure . t)
(sh . t)
(ledger . t)
(org . t)
(plantuml . t)
(latex . t))))
(add-to-list 'org-src-lang-modes (quote ("plantuml" . fundamental)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
This enables fundamental-mode when I C-c ' on a plantuml block
#+begin_src plantuml :file foo.png
#+end_src
Does that help?

I'm not sure... *looks up org-src-lang-modes* Oh, no I think you misunderstood me. I am not trying to add an additional language recognizer to org-babel. Markdown is a plaintext document format roughly similar to Org. What I want is to modify markdown-mode so that /its/ code blocks, which are currently recognized by markdown-mode but rendered in one solid face and without any language-specific editing smarts, behave like org's. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com

Ah, sorry I don't know how this is implemented in org (for the
fontification of source) so I can't help with making markdown-mode work
the way you want.

Hi Dave, Sadly I think the level of effort here is likely closer to "read the code and figure it out" than to a quick <1hour effort. I would have to dig through the code to figure out exactly how difficult this would be, but I would imagine that the different moving parts which make this work in Org-mode are likely scattered in a couple of different places. There is MuMaMo-mode which is not related to the Org-mode implementation but is designed specifically for embedding multiple major modes into a single mode. However it can sometimes be hairy to configure and it proved insufficient for the source-code-block highlighting in Org-mode.
