Something curious occured to me: I purchased an epub and noticed that it was full of strange signs in the middle of the text, such as _Text text text_ (this one mostly to indicate direct speech). As it was an english book, I first thought, well, this might be "the english way" to mark direct speech (so it never occured to me this way in earlier times with printed books). But there were also other strange formattings, and only now I learned that this could be symptoms of an original markdown formatting. I didn't yet try, but to achieve the intended result, it should be possible to
1. open the epub in Sigil,
2. copy the text,
3. paste into text editor (NotePad++, f. ex.),
4. save it as .txt,
5. fetch it as such in Calibre and
6. convert it to epub again.
This should convert the markdowns as well, shouldn't it?
Edit: "so"= "though", of course!
