Again, try turning of= f markdown extensions to make it more "lightweight" and tailor that as your= "plaintext". Regarding treating list marker as plaintext or not: we need to ask ourselve= s what do we mean when we say plaintext and markdown. In the "markdown wins= the plaintext war" camp, markdown is plaintext. Just to look up wikipedia = in , non-binary formats are pla= intext, like most of the pandoc formats including HTML. So pandoc's plain f= ormat definitely has a special meaning than these. And @jgm just defined it= above. Lastly, when I say the list marker isn't plaintext, I'm thinking in= terms of "stringify". Like if given a document, if I'm to remove every for= matting features, what would I be left with? Or in other words, if I speak = it out without any help from those markups, what would that be? In this sen= se, a list in *plain* text is like "Give me a pen, pencil, and ruler." By t= he way, I think in typography, when you write that in a list (with list mar= kers), the rule to apply punctuation marks and connectives is exactly as if= you write it out in a sentence. i.e. the list marker is just a visual elem= ent to better represent the information. --=20 You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "= pandoc-discuss" group.
