I just want support for the Markdown filetype for reading and writing.\r\n\r\nJust as an explanation for my preference, I looked at how .rtf files are internally, and they include a lot of information that I feel is unnecessary. I like Markdown because 99% of the file content is the actual text, and not meta data. It's just some small extensions to .txt that let you have italics, bold, and headers. Every once in a while, I want to get down and dirty with the plaintext of the file, and .rtf is harder to do that with.\r\n\r\nI am not sure how hard it would be to implement, but it would be great (for me). Until then I will stick to .rtf for basic formatting.\r\n\r\nThanks for making the software. I am enjoying it so far except for this one feature! :)"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/gottcode/focuswriter/issues/comments/164790480","html_url":"https://github.com/gottcode/focuswriter/issues/159#issuecomment-164790480","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/gottcode/focuswriter/issues/159","id":164790480,"user":{"login":"beedaddy","id":3264939,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/3264939?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/beedaddy","html_url":"https://github.com/beedaddy","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/beedaddy/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/beedaddy/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/beedaddy/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/beedaddy/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/beedaddy/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/beedaddy/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/beedaddy/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/beedaddy/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/beedaddy/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-12-15T15:02:35Z","updated_at":"2015-12-15T15:02:35Z","body":"@gottcode You said that MarkDown is (more or less) only useful for blog posts etc. Another use case is writing books. For example, with MarkDown and pandoc it is easy to create ebooks (epub). Support for MarkDown would fit perfectly to the workflow of a fiction writer. Writing distraction-free with FocusWriter. Convert the MarkDown-text to various formats with pandoc. In case of epub: Polish with calibre, sigil or whatever and publish book. Sounds good to me. :)"}}
