Business users don't want .md files
- seb1204 2y agoBut they should use it, stop wasting time formatting a word doc to have the letter address placed correctly or the custom property fields linked to in line text.

- chris_wot 2y agoDoes MD format do footnotes, along with page headers and footers? Floating images?

It's just "the report" or "a Word". They don't even know where it's saved.
