Export to other markup languages (like Textile) #3330

Open miraut opened 5 years ago

miraut commented 5 years ago

Current behavior

Boostnote allows users to export markdown syntax to many formats, like .txt, .html, .pdf and so on

Expected behavior

It would be great to export markdown to other markup languages, like Textile (which is used by many tools like Redmine tracking software). So we can write our notes in confortable markdown and export it to Textile-like applications in Boostnote.

For now, I use a workaround with scripts that invoke pandoc as an external tool.

I hope this feature could be considered in a near furture release. Thanks !

Exporting to more formats would be a neat new feature. Potentially we could use pandoc's API to achieve this result.

I would really love it if boostnote could use a more sophisticated pandoc exporting that can produce latex and latex-formatted pdfs. Rmarkdown has this functionality and it's immensely popular (at least among academics). At the moment, I'm copy/pasting to Rmarkdown before I export, which is suboptimal...
