I did not know I needed it until today
Honestly same here.
Seeing Libre Office get markdown support is pretty sweet ngl🤌
That's nice! After that, we will only need a better/optimized epub export tool to be able to easily self-publish using only dear LO Writer :)
Oh hell yes! That's what I'm talking about!
That is actually so good.
Can someone explain why I might want to use markdown locally? So far, I only now it from message boards, blog software etc. and all software that supported it came with its own editor. When would I use MD rather than ODT/DOCX?
Documentation in a repository.
ODT and DOCX are binary and can't be versioned and compared like a plain text format can.
Thanks, for your explanation!
Now that you mention it I saw these .MD files several times on Github etc.
In general: you don't need any specific app to use Markdown files, you can just read them in a text editor. I've come to really like these kinds of raw-readable formats - usability without special tools can be incredibly useful depending on the situation.
@cm0002 Markdown everything!
Cool new feature, garbage click bait article title. Thanks OP for not burying the lede like the article.
I'm getting real pissed at It's FOSS. They have an awesome name, but their content feels AI generated and they often talk about stuff that is clearly not FOSS.
