markdown formatted source files import

[independens]

Hi, in the documentation it seems to say that it should be possible to import text that is formatted using markdown. When doing that though, it will just be imported as plain text. Is there a way to do this or maybe is this a feature request?

Hi @independens we currently only support txt and rtf, however it's on the roadmap to support multiple text formats via pandoc (#70) soon.

Until then you can either use a local pandoc installation (or similar tools) to convert markdown to RTF, which you can then import to OpenQDA.

hi @jankapunkt maybe implementing the pandoc integration would be a good project for @desha2103 ?

@independens update - as of now we support markdown, doc, docx, odt, rtf and txt as text based formats

[kadewe]

yes, markdown works nicely!
but we do not support included images in the documents I think?

[jankapunkt]

Right now, we do not. However, in Markdown images are not embeded by default, unless you directly embed the image as data using html img tags, which is supported by markdown.
