I've found an example of one calling an external perl program, but it wasn't clear to me if the modifcations were made in the template, in ttree or in some other file.

Hi Sherwood,

Are you using a plug-in to handle the MultiMarkdown parsing, or doing something else?

I use [Template::Plugin::MultiMarkdown](https://metacpan.org/pod/Template::Plugin::MultiMarkdown), which supports the XS version of MM - in fact it uses it by default.

And you use it like this in your template(s):

[% USE MultiMarkdown %]

…
[% FILTER multimarkdown %]

### My Markdown.

Here’s my **MultiMarkdown** text.

[% END %]

…

Hope that’s helpful.

cheers
