Markdown as a default markup #592

Open villanella opened 1 year ago

villanella commented 1 year ago

We want to edit Doorstop files as markdown with header instead of yml: 1) to use third-party edit tools. Some editors like VSC, Vim (Vimwiki) support very useful markdown editing features: tables formatting and alignment, custom syntax highlight etc; 2) to edit text without indents. Editing tables in markdown is very uncomfortable when we have to keep indents.

This seems to be a duplicate of https://github.com/doorstop-dev/doorstop/issues/295.

@villanella Have you looked at #295? It is probably the best we can do since we do not want to go away from yaml as the file format.

I use this feature "markdown with yaml header" about 1 year in beta-b8 version. I can't upgrade Doorstop to newer versions, because markdown is supported only in beta releases, that aren't stable . Are you planning to support this feature in stable (not beta) release?

Always nice to hear from active users!

Yes, it will be supported in stable as it is already included in the development branch.

I've been way to busy with my day job to be able to spend enough time here for the last 2 years, but I've found some time now and is currently working on reaching the 3.0 milestone.
