According to my initiative, "Orgdown" should be used as a new name for
the Org-mode syntax. This way, we do get a clear distinction between
the GNU/Emacs implementation of Org-mode and its lightweight markup
language syntax. In my opinion, not every tool that supports Orgdown
needs to support the whole set of Org-mode features in order to be a
good choice for users.
Hi,
You may have heard of my latest initiative at EmacsConf21 which tries to strengthen the non-Emacs support for Org-mode syntax: https://karl-voit.at/2021/11/27/orgdown/ or https://tube.graz.social/w/bgJVfjPLQAoJwLJQZoo3Hu (12min video)

At the moment, there is one basic Orgdown level defined: Orgdown1 https://gitlab.com/publicvoit/orgdown/-/blob/master/doc/Orgdown-Levels.org That basic level is very easy to reach for any tool supporting Orgdown syntax.
Independent from my approach to introduce a new name Orgdown for the syntax of Org-mode, the Orgdown project does maintain a collection of tools with decent Org-mode syntax support on: https://gitlab.com/publicvoit/orgdown/-/blob/master/doc/Tool-Support.org
So far, I collected many tools on the tool page itself. For a small subset, I also wrote a detailed tool-support page such as: https://gitlab.com/publicvoit/orgdown/-/blob/master/doc/tools/GitLab.org
I would like to invite you to contribute a detailed tool-support page as well. The necessary steps to fill out the provided template are described on: https://gitlab.com/publicvoit/orgdown/-/blob/master/doc/faq/how-to-add-tools.org
If you do have some questions or feedback, please do not hesitate and write me an email or add a GitLab issue.
Thank you very much and have a nice day!
