We shouldn't either work on working for every fancy a single user may have. If there's a real benefit from converting markdown to HTML, please show me one. As far as I can see it, we're either talking about: 1) replacing semi-readable Markdown with unreadable HTML that will require special tools for proper display, 2) installing duplicate files (the same data in markdown and in HTML), 3) adding some more ugly awful magic that will make binary packages even less useful. That said, I'd rather see people using *tools* to display Markdown rather than converting everything 90s-style. -- Best regards, Michał Górny
