--- Comment #1 from Bernard Schœnacker <[email protected]> ---
To clarify the scope of this request:

I am not proposing to replace ODT or the XML architecture of LibreOffice.

I am proposing the addition of a native Markdown source mode inside Writer,
similar to how many IDEs separate “source” and “rendered view”.

The idea is:

Writer can open, edit and save .md files natively

Images are referenced as external files

Metadata handled via YAML header

Rendering to ODT/PDF handled internally by LibreOffice

This would allow:

clean versioning with Git

long term archiving of technical documentation

separation of content and layout

use of LibreOffice as a rendering engine, not only as an XML editor

This feature would be especially valuable for:

technical writers

documentation teams

industrial environments

long-term document maintenance

LibreOffice would then support two authoring paradigms:

WYSIWYG (current)

Text-based source (Markdown)

without breaking the existing architecture.
