Org mode is intended to write in Org syntax. I started writing my notes in Markdown, and when I migrated to Org, I converted all my old Markdown notes to Org via pandoc. Anyway, inside an Org document you can write Markdown using a source block: #+begin_src markdown your text in markdown... #+end_src If you do C-c ' inside the block, you can edit it in another buffer with the markdown mode activated[1]. You can also generate a * .md file from that block (see https://orgmode.org/manual/Extracting-Source-Code.html): #+begin_src markdown :tangle my-file.md your text in markdown... #+end_src Best regards, Juan Manuel
