Markdown + git should offer great value to attorneys. They can manage versions, etc,etc. They can always export to word if the courts require/mandate a print layout, but everything else you've mentioned exists in some version of markdown (like pandoc).
I do agree that coders think the world is like them - wanting to memorize and master markdown syntax and git commands. But, reality has no tolerance for such chicken shit. If markdown+git can be packaged in an easy to use app, easy enough for a 5 year old, it stands a chance
- jxdxbx 9y agoI can't think of a way to do authority-marking and tables of authorities, auto-updating supra and infra references, different page numbering systems within a single document, etc etc with markdown. Writing a rough draft in a text editor is easy enough but the last bits of formatting and presentation for legal documents are just really, really involved.
