@alexl
i have developed a software for linux, #Xwriter , with the possibility to save/read Zip markdown files (.mdz) with images
This new format is based on #markdock, an extended markdown syntax to write/exchange rich-text documents based on markdown
I wish this new format becomes more popular, i have develop #Xwriter for a proof of concept, I'm not a software developer, but the possibility to make mardown-based document in a zip file is definitively a good feature i enjoy

#Xwriter V0.4.2 is out

This version introduces #pantcl filters
#pantcl filters are pandoc filters for :
- C/Go/Rust/Lua/Tcl/python/R/octave/vlang code evaluation
- diagram tools mermaid/graphviz/plantUML/kroki...
- Equation tool (eqn/latex math)
- Music notation (ABC music/lilypond)
- Database output (sqlite3)

A nice set of tools for Xwriter.

@pandoc
I have tested and help to debug these filters in #Xwriter a few days ago.
Lot of features with diagram/sqlite/Code evaluation (tcl/python/c/go/v...)

Just a security warning : As these filters can execute code, don't use them with untrusted documents

#Xwriter move to github :
https://github.com/htopkill/Xwriter

i have nothing wrong with #codeberg, it works fine for me, but if i want to scale up #Xwriter, i need to go where i can find #tcl #tk developpers

Xwriter V0.4.1 is out

This release contains :
1. Files inclusion with the syntax : {{include filepath/filelink}}
2. Bug fix/User-interface improvement
3. Markdown archive .mdz works with more than 1 markdown file at the root ( tested with github zip file )

#Xwriter #markdown #markdock #richtext #richtexteditor

http://codeberg.org/sudokill/Xwriter

may be #Xwriter could be the next #emacs with :
1. #tcl instead of #lisp
2. #markdock instead of #orgmode

Still lot of works, but it will be great
It could even be possible to make a tcl/orgmode combo 😲

Note : #markdock is an extended markdown syntax to make rich-text document

The 3 main features i use in #Xwriter I didn't find in another #markdown editor :

1. Hide markdown symbol : you can display your file as a rich-text document, very usefull
2. Extended syntax : you can underline, justify text, change font size/family/color, make border.... all this without HTML
3. Save the file+images in zip archive i can open in Xwriter. I use it more and more to manage all my documents

In the next release of #Xwriter coming soon, I changed 2 rules :
1. HTML alias as :
`Text`{serif #red ...}
2. Paragraph indentation as :
|1/2/3Tabs+Text

These syntax are just better in plain-text and are closer to the syntax already used in pandoc

a few months i used markdown to write rich-text documents. Here is the main syntax i need :
# Document title [2 trailing spaces]
__underline__
:: Fully justified
::: Center
{{serif;#red;...}} Text {}

This syntax works for me : easy to remember, good in plain-text, no interference with markdown syntax
I use a software i develop for that ( #Xwriter )

#markdock #markdown #editor #markup #html

In my journey to code a rich-text editor based on #markdown , i realised you just need 5 simple features :

1. a simple syntax for document title
2. a simple syntax for text justification
3. a syntax for HTML alias
4. a simple syntax for picture width
5. a zip file to encapsulate everything

If you are curious, or want to talk about using markdown as a rich-text document reference, use hashtag #markdock
