Two panels cropped from a cartoon. On the first one a man is lying on a couch staring into the ceiling with a blank expression. On the second he half-sits, looking behind and saying “Oh shit, for real?”

@libreoffice oh, I read there you can export as markdown? Now that's even more newsworthy for me.

@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.

Markdown support is overdue, so that’s excellent. But my “gratitude” to Google will continue at nil. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@libreoffice 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
