title: Markdown Encoding role: manual tags: #api #manual #reference #zettelstore syntax: zmk A zettel representation that tries to recreate a [[Markdown|00001008010500]] representation of the zettel. Useful if you want to convert [[other markup languages|00001008000000]] to Markdown (e.g. [[Zettelmarkup|00001007000000]]). 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|00001007030100]] * [[Verse blocks|00001007030700]] * [[Region blocks|00001007030800]] * [[Comment blocks|00001007030900]] (and inline comments) * [[Evaluation blocks|00001007031300]] * [[Math-mode blocks|00001007031400]] * [[Tables|00001007031000]] * Most [[text formatting|00001007040100]] elements (except emphasis and quotation) * Most [[literal-like formatting|00001007040200]] (except literal text / code spans) Some elements are restricted, e.g. [[quotation lists|00001007030200]] 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.
