Thank you, yes, I sometimes use that, but the content becomes ‘locked in’. It does not fit well with my knowledge base (create cross-links, etc.). Markdown is so simple and easy to work with, that I select all my tools around it. It is a great timesaver if you can just move MD snippets around all over the place.
