 * I have WordPress 1.2 installed and running, and I have created a custom printable
   page for a client. My problem is that I use the content itself straight from 
   the database because ad code needs to be inserted, and the Markdown plugin does
   not seem to work on the printable page.
 * I used the same method to insert the code in the main blog index, and it worked
   fine. When I try to do it on the printable page, the special characters make 
   it look horrible, and Markdown seems not to apply.

 * What do you mean by “straight from the database” ?
 * If you’re calling wp-blog-header.php and WordPress’ functionality, and outputting
   content with something like `$post->post_content`, try this:
 * `echo Markdown($post->post_content);`
 * If not, see if you can incorporate the plugin file with a regular PHP include,
   and access the Markdown function that way (although, thinking about it, the plugin
   as-is may not work, since it’s probably expecting WP-related functions to be 
   defined).
