[Zim-wiki] zim and markdown
In the thread about Access and edit zim notes when Zim isn't installed, Michele Pratusevich says: I do exactly what you described - save my Zim notebooks in Dropbox and edit the text files (in markdown) in a free text editor. Does this mean that Zim uses the same syntax than markdown? i.e., a header just defined as # Header 1 ## Subheader 1.1 can be formatted by Zim? I've tried and do not get that.

Re: [Zim-wiki] zim and markdown
Yes you can edit it as wiki text, but not all wiki text is the same as markdown. See the manual for zim wiki format: http://www.zim-wiki.org/manual/Help/Wiki_Syntax.html (And before you ask, yes we want to support markdown as well, but not currently implemented.)

Re: [Zim-wiki] Zim, pandoc/markdown, and HTML

I think that will be made easier given the next version of pandoc is supposed to support the colon-based multimarkdown metadata format (i.e., author: Joseph), which Zim uses. *Then* we could use pandoc to create the Web pages. What's the benefit of that? It opens up so much more functionality. For instance, I found myself wanting to embed a youtube video in a page, which is impossible with Zim. If Zim took the markdown/ReST philosophy of ignore (pass through) the HTML you don't know, yes, I would have the ugly embed tags in my zim window, but I'd have the video embedded in the resulting HTML if the export mechanism was based on pandoc! I don't think we need to go over the discussion that was held before on this topic and re-iterate all the pro and cons. I do support moving to multiple native formats, but simply lack the time to make more progress than I am making at the moment. If this is something you really want, please have a look at the pyzim-next branch and start coding a native pandoc parser in that framework. Otherwise please be patient till I have time to get around that part of the code.
