Not related to Prince, but I think it would be very nice to have Markdown support in the forum. Maybe a subset of something like GFM?

That would be nice, but we're a little too busy with Prince development.

There appears to be some Markdown to BBCode converters online, maybe one of them would work?

Thanks for the tip!

This one does a decent job, I think. Not everything is supported but the important things seem to work.

This code...

<https://www.princexml.com>

[Prince](https://www.princexml.com)

*Italic*
**Bold**
***BoldItalic***

_Italic_
__Bold__
___BoldItalic___

[u]Underline is not supported but can be written in original syntax.[/u]

* One
* Two
* Three

1. One
2. Two
3. Three

> Quote
Next line in quote

```
./prince
```

... is converted to:

https://www.princexml.com

Prince

Italic
Bold
BoldItalic

Italic
Bold
BoldItalic

Underline is not supported but can be written in original syntax.

• One
• Two
• Three

1. One
2. Two
3. Three

./prince

I thought it was worth to tweak the current online version a bit to support more of the syntax used here. Attached is a self-contained single file version which can be opened in a browser locally. I added support for headings, underline, emails, images (with or without title) and changed some other things. In most cases it seems to work very well, only sometimes it's necessary to add an additional blank line in the generated output. The credit for the original version of this nice little converter goes to Kyle J Stiemann, thanks!.

(And of course this post was written with this tool ).

So now this code ...

# Heading
## Heading
### Heading 

*Italic*
**Bold**
***BoldItalic***

_Italic_
__Bold__
___BoldItalic___

~~Underlined.~~

* One
* Two
* Three

1. One
2. Two
3. Three

> Quote
Next line in quote

```
./prince
```
