I agree with the limitations of Markdown re: it being not great at doing some quality of life things like same-document references or embedding images as base64.
I would enjoy those two features, can we add 'em? MD files would basically be able to replace RTFs in all but the older OLE stuff in the latter.
But...even though I wish for those two, I have some sense that these things would start us down the slippery slope of bloating markdown to be HTML 2020(TM)
- roblabla 7y ago> embedding images as base64. That's already possible with data URL. You can easily do ``. Now, this won't work on GitHub due to security restrictions (you could embed an SVG that contains a script). But Markdown/CommonMark supports it just fine.
