#1. NEW VIDEO:  Using Markdown in FileMaker -------------------------------------------------------

Coding in FileMaker can become like a drug. If you think it can be done, you may be tempted to create it. However, there are a few times when you simply shouldn't. When technology exists, which you can leverage, it's often much faster (and better tested) to go outside of FileMaker.

In this video I showcase exactly how easy it is to implement a Text-to-HTML conversion tool using a very popular method named Markdown. If you, or your users, have ANY need to generate HTML - and do so easily - then this video and file will have what you need.

Using Markdown, you can quickly create valid HTML from much more human-readable text. If you know nothing about Markdown and how it might benefit you, then make sure to watch this video and learn from the technique file!

#2. ADD GRADIENTS EASILY USING GRADIENT MAKER
-------------------------------------------------------

Are your layouts looking a bit awkward?

Light and shadows contribute to how we see the world. Should your layouts be any different?

One of the best ways to enhance the look of your layouts is through the use of gradients.

The problem is creating them. I personally used to use another piece of software (Photoshop). Now I rarely even open it when creating my FileMaker layouts! I can create highly optimized gradients right within FileMaker. A quick drag-n-drop and I'm making better-looking layouts.

Download a copy right now and take a look!
