sflr!

Then i guess my converter library has that edge over Pandoc. Specifically, this library can preserve the HTML better than pandoc

So, what im getting is that:

  • u want to make a tasklist app
  • that stores the notes in markdown
  • with an commandline function that inserts a string as a list item under a specific header

sounds like it can be done by just using a bash script to parse the markdown file, find the headers, and just insert the listitem.

for the nested AST idea, im not sure what itd be useful for.

Oh, in the link that u gave, the "align" attribute was transformed to:

{#centered-italicised-heading align="center"}

Is it possible to customise this to instead output as a HTML tag attribute? like:

<h1 align="center">
  ...
</h1>

what do u mean by "insert markdown into existing markdown"? could u give an example?

Oh have I compared this to Pandoc?
No actually, I've never tried Pandoc before.

I'm not sure if Pandoc can be configured to do the same adaptive-preserving of HTML in markdown, like converting this HTML:

<h1><b>Italicised heading</b></h1>
<h1 align="center">
  <i>Centered italicised heading</i>
</h1>

to this markdown:

# _Italicised heading_

<h1 align="center">
  <i>Centered italicised heading</i>
</h1>

Anyone here with Pandoc experience who've tried this?
