seems useful, but what if some google doc features are not supported in markdown?

It handles it gracefully. The tool cannot edit them, but it will ensure it does not mess them up.

Some examples: - Table of contents can't be updated via the API. But the tool will ensure that the ToC doesn't disappear - Styling can't be represented in markdown. That's fine - new content in the same paragraph will inherit the styles. The tool won't change the styles.

The core approach - don't mess with anything that isn't represented in markdown.

The way it works: we take the original google document and only apply the specific changes that the author intended to make. So this ensures we don't change anything else.
