@publicvoit I just realized from reading the .textbundle/.textpack spec (it's basically a text document with assets grouped in one folder) that the text file's format is not constrained to Markdown per se.

.textpack is basically a zipped bundle, and that would work beautifully with org!

@ctietze Got any context for me? What is textbundle or textpack?

@publicvoit https://textbundle.org/

It's an open convention to, well, bundle assets with plain text files.

Like RTFD includes images in the RTF.

Or rather doc/otf then did, because RTFD never took off outside of classic Mac I think?

But .textbundle is just a directory with a certain directory structure for apps to make sense of and find assets next to the text document.

And .textpack is just a zipped .textbundle.

@ctietze Is there a Pasteboard type for this data type defined, yet? I think it needs one so that apps can put it into the pasteboard for exchange. See also https://utis.cc/ where it could then be documented as well.

@tempelorg interesting idea. That would allow both rich text copy/pasting and restoring the bundle structure with metadata in supporting apps 🤔
