[tomboy-list] OnTheFly Addin

[Douglas V. Johnston]

Hi Arun,

You might want to compare this to the WikiMarkup Addin:
http://lists.beatniksoftware.com/pipermail/tomboy-list-beatniksoftware.com/2006-November/000008.html

which can be found in updated form here:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=380633

While I believe functions in a very similar manner, and might give
some hints to your problems.

Best,
Doug
