I've mostly just stuck with rST in LeoDocs.leo out of inertia. I would definitely prefer to use markdown myself.

As I said, I haven't really confronted these questions myself. There are a few toy uses of markdown in LeoDocs.leo. Search for @language md. Both use @auto-md, and both are intended to use the @button make-md-toc script to generate a table of contents (in the console) which you then paste by hand into the sources. Not at all elegant, but it's a start. Does anyone have any other ideas? I have just created #633 <https://github.com/leo-editor/leo-editor/issues/633> to discuss this.
