Thank you!
The image posted above is NOT markdown.
Headings for ex h3 are
### textnot# # # text> textis a blockquote not "a toggle list" whatever that meansHighlighting should be
==text==There is no such thing as a "dots divider"
The todo list I think is also incorrect.
Why the devs are calling this markdown who knows. I guess they do not read things, dngaf. If you dont want to support markdown then dont support markdown. For some reason this really irks me. It will confuse new MD users.

After trying this out on my Anytype, this appears to be a UI bug. Trying to do
# # #will actually result in H1.###is an H3. A "dots divider" appears to be an horizontal line with different UI.There's some weird stuff for sure but it's also worth mentioning there's many flavours of markdown out there.
Idk who in the world would change
>from being blockquote to some kind of list. It is a standard used since long before markdown ever existed. A list and a quote are totally dissimilar parts of document and switching to render one as the other would be terribly confusing.The point of md is simple interoperability and portability.
For anyone who is interested: markdown basic syntax. I do not think the above constututes a flavour of md.
There is no Markdown standard. That said, people generally agree on using
>for blockquotes when talking about Markdown. Markdown was also not created for interoperability and portability though many people try to use it as such.
