Somewhere on GitHub is a project that converts MarkDown to/from ODT. I did ask the developer if they would be willing to modify it, so that it could be used as a LibO extension. They declined, on the grounds that that feature would be outside the scope of their project. There used to be an extension that validated Markdown, when creating documents using that presentation markup language. It did _not_ convert MarkDown to/from ODT. I say used to be, because it calls something within LibO that appears to no longer exists. jonathon -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy

Re: [libreoffice-users] Tab stops
Hi Dan, afraid that was checked. Note this is not a general effect, this document doesn't show the tabs in the ruler, another does.

Tools > Options > LibreOffice Writer > Formatting Aids > Tabs You may not have this property checked. Other than that, it may depend upon your OS. Tab stops appear in my horizontal ruler in 6.3.6.3, 6.4.4.2, and 7.0 Beta 1. All three are Debian and from the LibreOffice website (pre-release versions).
