Markdown support means that I already know how to use it. I don't have to figure out what hotkey bolds text, underlines text, turns things into bullet points, etc.

How do I add links to this? Is it even possible? If it was markdown, I already know how to add a link, no extra thought required.

Why do I feel like it's strangely 1995 again?
I wish papier would support bbcode. Then I would know exactly how to bold text or add hyperlinks to other webpages on the world wide web (mostly angelfire websites).
Ya. My flashback is to 1988, painstakingly crafting manuals for my shareware.
I don't mind that this doesn't support markdown, or have super-specific instructions, or w/e. It's a fun bit of software, and I'm going to play around with it for a while :)

I'm just answering the question of "why would you want markdown support?"
