It strikes me as odd to add functions to a text format, given that even in GUI documents macros are usually avoided. Was Quarkdown designed for complex and repetitive documents?

Thank you for volunteering to field questions.

Quarkdown was designed for control. Simple Markdown to define content, functions (LaTeX-style, but not macros!) for a declarative approach to document format and styling.

Scripting came out naturally, so why not. Since v2 QD comes with a permission system that makes things safer.

    I wonder.

    That’s why not.

    You got your JavaScript in my HTML.

    Seriously though… it might be a useful feature. Or it could kill your product’s focus. Sincerely, good luck.
