A basic markdown mode for LibreOffice writer would facilitate the use of markdown among users that do not understand markdown. If I want to ask for input to a markdown document today I cannot send it to users that do not work in text. If they could open it in LibreOffice then they could edit and send it back without feeling like they are out of their normal workflow.It would be nice to pick a markdown flavor like the one used in Pandoc or github

I know this petition requires a monumental effort ... but... Would it be a bad idea to:Have a general public markdown editor?Anyone with only 'Standard Office Suite' knowledge to edit .md files?Avoid everyone installing another text editor Typora, haroopad, joplin, etc.?For all of them to generate a set of files with a consistent style?To collaborate with many people of any age, plumbers, architects, programmers, economist, etc. for everyday projects (construction of powerplants, bridges, refineries, hospitals and even for student homework)?To have standard tools like spellcheck and collaborate?Save countless of hours formatting?Stretching a lot... even automatic table of contents...

I know it doesn't seem relevant ... Just asking 3 people to create a file with info gathered from www with consistent style (paragraph, line, font, etc) is such a pain...For us everyday users that do not post on this forum you'll save ...(more)

Thank you @trosendal for initial suggestion and @iqgustavo for poetically contributing your vision of the bigger picture.

The LibreOffice software and its ecosystem are a wonderful creation, also from ideological point. I wish it can become this one and only 'Standard Office Suite'. But I'm afraid it might loose ground among the user types of the technically-versed, the researchers (knowledge synthesizing) and the creatives.

An elegant markdown mode in LibreOffice would help to keep the technical & research-types on board.

The creatives are operating in other spheres, but at least during their forming years in school and university there's a propensity that they may be (guided to) using LibreOffice, if it was 'The Standard Office Suite'.

Personally I use LibreOffice on Linux as a Markdown editor (save as Text) mainly because LibreOffice of the LanguageTools plugin and a decent spelling check. While it is not ideal, from my humble point of view it 500% better than any Editor (online/offline) which or offer markdown support or grammar tools. I also, often write in French which lower even more the chance of finding a better product than LibreOffice for my need and expectation. But yes it would be awesome if natively LibreOffice could support Markdown and/or a LibreOfficeMD as light editor/version of LibreOffice.

I've got a file that uses Markdown (Twine to be specific). I am manually copying and pasting the text from it to LibreOffice.

Now that the Text is in LibreOffice, I want to format the text (using Regular Expressions) based on certain sets of Characters before and after them. So ...

1. All **Any Text Here**, I want the Text to be Bolded
2. All _Any Text Here_, I want the Text to Italicized
3. All <%Any Script Here%>, I want the Text to be in 'Courier New' Font

I have figured out the proper Regular Expressions I need to put in Find for the 3 above examples I mentioned:

1. **.+**
2. _.+_
3. <%.+%>

And I know how to use the Format button for the Replace field (for changing the Style and/r Font), but ...

What can I put in the Replace field in order to keep the Text?

• If I leave Replace empty, it just replaces each instance of the Regular Expression with no text.
• If I put in the same regular expression in Replace as I put in Find, it just literally replaces each instance of the Regular Expression with the text of the Regular Expression. So if I put **.+** in Replace, all Regular Expressions of **.+** is now the literal text **.+**, but formatted with what I set in Format (and not the text it had before).

I hope my question makes sense.

The Format button in Find and Replace-dialog applies to Find and not to Replace.
