@libreoffice markdown support sounds like a feature that would help a lot of people to bridge info between development environments and office environments. Great, I will definitely try this out πŸ‘πŸ»
@opentechfan @libreoffice Yeah, nice. I usually have VSCode open anyway, but if you’re trying to get non/less-technical people to write in .md to run through a SSG, MkDocs, etc, being able to have them do that in a familiar office-type environment is a huge benefit over an IDE or some specialist md editor.
