I got really excited that I would be able to write in Markdown.
Unfortunately, from the article:

- azangru 8mo agoWhy would you need LibreOffice to write in Markdown? That would be, like, one of the slowest Markdown editors out there.
- 2pie 8mo agoAre you sure ? It would be faster than most electron based editors

- rippeltippel 8mo agoHow about opening Word documents and being able to save them to Markdown in one click? That's super useful to me.
- BoredomIsFun 8mo agoTo copy/paste LLM outputs with maintaining format.
- jdboyd 8mo agoOpen .docx file, save as Markdown to nicely preserve things like headings, bold, etc. I moderately frequently have reason to want to go .docx to .md because I have a lot of ediing/rewriting to do and I'd rather work in Emacs than LibreOffice Writer.
- mmooss 8mo agoMarkdown is a text markup language, of course. The output does not look like the input (unless you want to read raw text Markdown, in which case LibreOffice works fine). How would that look in a single-pane, edit-in-place, wysiwyg editor? Where would you type the input, and where and when would it show the output?
- hotsauceror 8mo agoObsidian does this. It displays the raw Markdown for the line under the cursor, and renders the marked down content everywhere else in the document.
- chaosharmonic 8mo agoThese things generally already offer side-by-side page layouts anyway, no? Doesn't seem like that much of a stretch from a UI perspective to do something similar with a Markdown preview.
- 1718627440 8mo agoHonestly I always prefer the "non-rendered" version, it looks way nicer and readable to the eye.
- BigGreenJorts 8mo agoGoogle docs allows using markdown hashtags essentially as shortcuts to switch to title, subtitle, subxntitle
