To divert a little, but not talking about Markdown. We were looking for a simple way of of producing documents in html, thought we were on the right track until some of the potential users asked for pdf too. We now use Lyx for the authoring, it produces formatted text, without formatting marks

Yes, that does look quite promising, however, it looks like it is abandonware: open bugs and no updates for quite some time. Also, it talks about presentations, I am not sure if it would work with OO documents. Is anyone using it? I will not have a chance to try it until next week. On

I do have Pandoc installed, have not tested it yet, but I would much prefer a seamless way of moving between OO/LO and markdown format. Either the native ability to read/save in markdown format, or a plugin doing the same. On 11/20/2016 9:13 AM, Ricardo wrote: El 2016-11-20 14:45, Virgil

I am looking for seamless interchange between OO/LO and markdown... I understand there is a plugin for Word, Writage, that allows one to convert between the different formats. However, since I do not use Word I am not able to try it. I have not found any such plugin for OO/LO - yet - but that

I've used quite a few Markdown editors. I know nothing about CentOS, so I can't recommend anything for that OS. On Windows, I like WriteMonkey. In Linux, the best I've seen is ReText, but last I checked, it's developer was no longer supporting an Ubuntu PPA for the program making installation
