The second you want to do code and images on a page I just spend all my time fighting whatever markdown workflow is in place. Which would be fine if it added anything but they never just work, you still need to do your own image optimisation and aligning images or custom layout sections is terrible or not possible.
Markdown is harder to work with in the long term than just wiring HTML with Emmet. That's my opinion a few years ago and these days I'd double down on it as editors are so good.
Tables suck in everything so we should standardise a json and/or csv import language to drop tables in a built time anyway.
Markdown is good for notes. Even mermaid diagrams are kind of unpleasant to write.
Yes. At times I would like to be able to use italics in a code block to emphasize some portion of the code, and that seems very difficult, if not impossible, to do.
I realize this would conflict with automatic syntax highlighting, which is probably why it is not allowed.
