Markdown
- Markdown. Shouldn’t be complicated to do. Ideally accepting some basic fields from the YAML Header, like title, subtitle, author, date and lang ("en-us") for better sorting and selection of dictionary and hyphenator. Pocketbooks can already show pure text and also HTML documents.
Almost everything nowadays supports Markdown—a simple and highly practical text format. Would be great if Pocketbooks could also display MD documents, at least the CommonMark and GitHub-Flavoured Markdown dialects.
I write nearly everything in Markdown—from notes and blog posts to full novels. Sometimes you just want to carry along some Markdown documents, and it’s a nuisance having to convert these to HTML or EPUB before, or read them as text-only. How much neater would it be to just plugin your Pocketbook before you leave, copy your .md files over, and you’d have everything with you.
An e-reader isn’t just good for relaxed reading, but can also be a great "reference companion" for technical books, your own notes and texts!
