Markdown Encoding

A zettel representation that tries to recreate a Markdown representation of the zettel. Useful if you want to convert other markup languages to Markdown (e.g. Zettelmarkup).

If transferred via HTTP, the content type will be text/markdown.

Please note that many elements of Zettelmarkup cannot be encoded in Markdown / CommonMark. Examples are:

• Description lists
• Verse blocks
• Region blocks
• Comment blocks (and inline comments)
• Evaluation blocks
• Math-mode blocks
• Tables
• Most text formatting elements (except emphasis and quotation)
• Most literal-like formatting (except literal text / code spans)

Some elements are restricted, e.g. quotation lists are only supported as a top-level element.

Restricted and unsupported elements are not encoded. They will not appear on the encoded output.

Maybe in the future, ignored elements may be shown as an HTML-like comment.
