I agree that Markdown is underutilised. I've worked in a couple of different editors, Obsidian predominantly, but the main reason I like .md is that it is independent of software (although, as with the discussion above, DOCX is basically ubiquitous at this point!).

When I want to produce output from Markdown files, I use Pandoc (a command line tool) to convert them to PDF, sometimes even via LaTeX so that I can apply a nice template. That's probably beyond the scope of this topic (and definitely the FHUG board), but it would be amazing if CP implemented a Markdown export format.

As a workaround in the interim, exporting my notes to .txt and making the necessary tweaks is not so bad. I'm sure it's possible to write a macro or similar to quickly format the files to confirm to .md standards as well (especially in terms of citations).

Sarah;

As you've probably guessed, I really like using Scrivener to post-process my genealogy reports and add my analysis.
So; any format that maintains linked footnotes will likely work and is better than the current RTF export.
