Markdown and VScode is worth a look.

What markdown? I don't see markdown anywhere.

Browsers/HTML should support markdown natively, that would be even cooler.

Check out Markdown Preview Enhanced https://shd101wyy.github.io/markdown-preview-enhanced/#/This has support for mermaid, slides etc.

This is really useful! Hope they continue to add features. I don’t like directly writing markdown and would rather use a text editor like Docs or Word.
