Hi.

Is there any chance to offer markdown as a format for the forum posts?
Maybe it is possible to add that when the forum migrates to the new RockPro64 cluster ?

There isn't currently Markdown support in the forum software that we use (MyBB), and the only plugin I can find to do that is for an ancient version of the software and almost definitely would not work.

There do seem to be plans for future version of MyBB to support it, but they're pretty far off in the future.

Are you by any chance aware of a Markdown to MyCode converter ? I tried Pandoc, but that seems not to support MyCode.
Is there any other Markdown -> MyCode converter ?
