This is a high priority only because we are having some issues with Markdown conversion in Showdown/JavaScript/Angular and additional options and insight may be needed.
We have been trying to enable documentation display in the InfoMapper software, which uses spatial data and configuration files created by the GeoProcessor. We want to offer Markdown as a documentation format because it is easier for users to create. However, converting Markdown on the fly to HTML and displaying in a popup is presenting some technical challenges. Another option would be to allow Markdown to be used, but do the conversion to HTML in the GeoProcessor so that HTML files with working links and images are available without additional processing. See the article How to Render Markdown Syntax as HTML Using Python for one discussion on how to do this.
Using this approach would require integrating InfoMapper CSS with GeoProcessor command, and possibly other custom integration. This may or may not be simple.
