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: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2025/10/22/libreoffice-and-google-summer-of-code-2025-the-results/ #foss #OpenSource

@libreoffice much thanks. Congratulations
@libreoffice
Can't wait for #OrgMode as well. 😇
@libreoffice
Wooooh that's a gamechanger !
Congrat's 
@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.
@libreoffice Now I am officially excited about the next release. W00t!
@libreoffice about freaking time ese
Markdown support is overdue, so that’s excellent. But my “gratitude” to Google will continue at nil. 🤷🏻♂️
@libreoffice
At the moment I need to decide should I laugh or cry! 🤔
😂 😭 😂 😭 😂 😭
🤷🏼♂️
@libreoffice handy! This might be my main way to write docs from now on
@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
Does anyone else remember Runoff?

@libreoffice Love to hear that!
@libreoffice
This is huge! 👍
@libreoffice exciting, this will make it easier for me to export book projects from #obsidian for editing/typesetting in LibreOffice Writer :)
@libreoffice Aaah, great news for Markdown!
