Markdown support

[apachler]

It would be very elegant to have support for markdown syntax.
This would make it possible to have titels, highlights, etc.

If focus is set to the textfield switch to editor mode, after leaving
the textfield, thus unfocusing it, switch to markdown render mode.

This markdown lib would be nice to use:

nice concept, but too heavy: rendering mere text inputs already causes problems, so several entire webviews??? impossible

Hmmm, i am not into gnome shell extension development but how it comes that such simple functionallity is impossible when massiv extensions like Material Shell are possible?

[maoschanz]

i'm pretty sure materia shell provides its functionalities using native GNOME Shell widgets such as the ones i use.

Starting several windows with basically a web browser in each of them, just in order to have bold text in sticky notes, would be completely dumb, so no i will not just take a lib written for the web and get markdown support from that

i haven't close this thread which means i agreed it would be a nice feature, but sorry: the extension will get it only if i have so much free time i can implement a markdown parser to render notes with the natively supported pango library

(edit: maybe such a parser already exists? i'll search that later)
