Resource Links for Robust Markdown Support

[gitjeff2]

It would be handy to be able to import Markdown-formatted text into a Scribus document. Markdown is lightweight and well supported by several libraries.

There are several different variations to Markdown. For maximum compatibility Scribus would ideally support:

• CommonMark Spec which is a more regorously defined version of the original Markdown specification.
• GitHub Flavored Markdown for table support, etc.
• MultiMarkdown for document metadata, footnotes, etc.
• MarkdownExtra definition lists and other nice things.

The above commonly used Markdown extensions should cover a lot of use cases.

hi

well, my basic idea is to support only "pure" markdown (no html) and eventually add on top of it some custom formatting which are useful for layouts (like styles).

the first plan however is just to get the greg based barser to work with the leg file (https://github.com/aoloe/scribus-plugin-gettext-markdown/blob/master/src/README.md)

but i'm open for ideas and feedback!
