Markdown support is coming to #LibreOffice! And a new dialog to edit table styles, Python and BASIC code auto-completion, Rust UNO language bindings, and more - all thanks to participants in the Google Summer of Code: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl… #foss #OpenSource
This year, LibreOffice was once again a mentoring organization in the Google Summer of Code (GSoC), a global program focused on bringing more developers into free and open source software development. Seven projects were finished successfully.
Will that include support for typing in markdown? I keep trying to add bullet lists and headings with markdown syntax 🤦♂️ I am too used to the plain text world to use a proper document editor
@gunstick Glad you like it! As it says in the blog post, the initial support is for importing Markdown files. It will be in LibreOffice 26.2, due in February next year.
@jzb Importing and exporting! Regarding your second point, you could submit it as an enhancement request: bugs.documentfoundation.org/ – But of course, we're a volunteer-driven project with very limited resources. If you want the feature ASAP, you can help our volunteers, or fund a developer!

in reply to LibreOffice • • •Is this just importing Markdown or authoring / exporting Markdown too?
One thing I've really wished LO Writer had was a format that exported *plain* HTML / Markdown (e.g., HTML without scads of style gunk).
