--- Comment #8 from Thomas Z <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Eyal Rozenberg from comment #7) > 1. If what you need to produce is office docs, where does Markdown come in? > Or is it simply that you want more convenient mnemonics for applying styles, > rather than the actual Markdown syntax? Also, things about when Markdown is > not that convenient, e.g. with Tables; do you Markdown for that as well? > 2.

Of characters, paragraphs and lists? e.g. -=[ Blah > blah ]=- becoming "Blah blah" in some style of your choice? > 3. Can't you render LaTeX into ODF? I wonder. 1. I’d like to use lightweight Markdown markup as a keyboard‑only way to apply styles, rather than reaching for the toolbar or memorising hot‑keys. I fully agree about tables. Personally, I would suggest to implement only the basics: - bold, italic, strikethrough - ordered and unordered lists - headers - block quotes - inline code, and code blocks - links 2. This could potentially be useful for specialties for some users. 3. Oh I am sure this is possible and it will generate an initial document. I use Quarto to create a Word document and send it to my colleagues. However, the process is one‑way. When the document comes back with reviews or additions, I am forced to open it in a traditional word processor. That breaks my workflow and is why I am asking for this feature. -- Side note: This is a bit off‑topic, but "Mode 3" from your brainstorming could be used for another feature. Instead of Markdown, it could be used for declarative diagramming languages like Mermaid or PlantUML. Maybe that already exists though. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
