Anyone who want to define a new #markup language, based on #markdown, but for rich-text document ?
For example :
// Center that line
__underline__
"Text in red"{#red}
And of course, a zip file '. mdz' to encapsulate text and images.
I use this kind of syntax in my own linux editor, and it works really well.

@alexl
i have developed a software for linux, #Xwriter , with the possibility to save/read Zip markdown files (.mdz) with images
This new format is based on #markdock, an extended markdown syntax to write/exchange rich-text documents based on markdown
I wish this new format becomes more popular, i have develop #Xwriter for a proof of concept, I'm not a software developer, but the possibility to make mardown-based document in a zip file is definitively a good feature i enjoy
Xwriter V0.4.1 is out
This release contains :
1. Files inclusion with the syntax : {{include filepath/filelink}}
2. Bug fix/User-interface improvement
3. Markdown archive .mdz works with more than 1 markdown file at the root ( tested with github zip file )
The 3 main features i use in #Xwriter I didn't find in another #markdown editor :
1. Hide markdown symbol : you can display your file as a rich-text document, very usefull
2. Extended syntax : you can underline, justify text, change font size/family/color, make border.... all this without HTML
3. Save the file+images in zip archive i can open in Xwriter. I use it more and more to manage all my documents

#richtexteditor #markdock
The more i use #markdock in my everyday documents, the more i like it
That's great when you can use an extended #markdown syntax to make text justification/color, metadata, pagebreak, document title, image size, HTML alias, include files without using HTML
There is definitively a place for a new markup language between the simplicity of markdown and the complexity of HTML/XML/Latex...
I hope to convince the #opensource community, not to be popular, but because it's so much usefull 👍
Xwriter V0.4.0 is out !
Bug fixes and User-interface improvement in this version
#Xwriter is a rich-text editor with an extended #markdown syntax and #pandoc under the hood
Teasing : V0.4.1 will add files 'transclusion' (include files)
In the next release of #Xwriter coming soon, I changed 2 rules :
1. HTML alias as :
`Text`{serif #red ...}
2. Paragraph indentation as :
|1/2/3Tabs+Text
These syntax are just better in plain-text and are closer to the syntax already used in pandoc
#markdown #markdock #editor #richtext #RichTextFormat #richtexteditor
a few months i used markdown to write rich-text documents. Here is the main syntax i need :
# Document title [2 trailing spaces]
__underline__
:: Fully justified
::: Center
{{serif;#red;...}} Text {}
This syntax works for me : easy to remember, good in plain-text, no interference with markdown syntax
I use a software i develop for that ( #Xwriter )
In my journey to code a rich-text editor based on #markdown , i realised you just need 5 simple features :
1. a simple syntax for document title
2. a simple syntax for text justification
3. a syntax for HTML alias
4. a simple syntax for picture width
5. a zip file to encapsulate everything
If you are curious, or want to talk about using markdown as a rich-text document reference, use hashtag #markdock
