Probably the biggest change to DokuWiki in two decades is coming: native Markdown support.

@dokuwiki This seems like a very good thing. I'm looking forward to it.

[syntaxseed@phpc.social]

@dokuwiki OMG YES!

[derickr@phpc.social]

@dokuwiki we're using a plugin for it now, and it's just OK.

[tux0r@layer8.space]

@dokuwiki Waiting for org support.

[compfu@mograph.social]

@dokuwiki Wow that's great!

[ifixcoinops@retro.social]

@dokuwiki well that slaps pretty hard

[otyugh@pouet.chapril.org]

@dokuwiki Nice, I always thought it was a mess to use plugins for that

[foobarry@mastodon.social]

@dokuwiki great. Any chances of native git backend too?

[syntaxseed@phpc.social]

@dokuwiki While I also think that Dokuwiki syntax is nicer and more readable, this will be a SUPER useful feature.

@derickr@phpc.social @dokuwiki@phpc.social depending on which plugin you use it either has slightly broken HTML rendering, or is slightly cumbersome to use so in my view this is HUGE and i'm really excited

@syntaxseed
Exactly, Markdown is not well human-readable, its syntax is odd (for example less significant headlines get more visual attention). DokuWiki syntax is better designed. But MD support may boost DokuWiki's popularity.
