Text markup for .azw
Hello
I've been experimenting with sending documents to my Kindle 3 via my ...@kindle.com and I noticed that Amazon uses some sort of markup to format a text document in the .azw file it sends you. For example, Quote:
Quote:
It also does nothing with basic html tags such as <b>bold</b> <i>italics</i>. Does anyone know what markup the Amazon conversion service uses and where I can find a full list of formatting marks? Thanks Joel |

I've sent an email to Amazon asking the above questions. I'll wait and see if I hear anything and let you know when/if I do.

It looks similar to "Markdown" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markdown) and/or reStructuredText (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReStructuredText)

AZW is Amazon's name for their MOBI format. Check the MOBI documentation.

Amazon has a daemon which converts emailed TXT files to AZW for delivery to your Kindle. This daemon appears to respect some markup in the source TXT but there doesn't seem to be documentation, or at least easily discovered documentation, for the markup supported by the daemon.
