That's a good summary, and the ability to easily convert to e.g. html is definitely a plus point for markdown. I always find however that I'd rather either work in html (for any web content), LaTeX (for any research papers or lengthy docs) or plain text (for notes)... I never found markdown quite useful enough in any of those cases (it has been a while since I last gave it a serious test though).
- omaranto 11y agoYour plain text notes are actually in Markdown already. :)
- stared 11y agoGitHub README.md files are a nice example for use case. It is a text file, but which can use lists, code inclusions, links and images (the later are not available in text mode... unless you want to do ASCII art). When it comes to notes opinion vary. Some use Markdown (BTW: for notes I only keep them in the plain text mode - so the only difference is some highlighting), some org-mode, some various other tools.
