This comment caught my eye because I use a lot of markdown. What do you mean about downloading the file as markdown if it's just an .md?
I haven't ever created a .md in Google Docs and I don't see a way to download one.
Edit: After looking at the code, I think the comment applies to Google Drive and not Google Docs. I only use Google Drive via the web interface and it's a bit of a pain to "create" an md file via that interface.
I deleted my previous comment since it was irrelevant. Yes, you are right. I wanted to write markdown files and make them as posts. So I wrote that piece of code that, looks for md files as well, in addition to Google Doc files – for publishing as posts.
Helps me write code-blocks heavy posts in markdown directly in Google Drive, using markdown extensions. Google Docs is yet to support code blocks and by now I doubt they ever will :(
Yeah I agree, it really sucks that really basic things like equations, code-blocks, and captions in images aren't supported in Google Docs, it's an incredible dealbreaker.
Google slides doesn't even support vector graphics. Given the tech-savvy nature of people at Google, I've long suspected that nobody there actually uses Google Docs.
I've never found any of these kinds of approaches to actually work; I always end up with a rasterized image that I could have gotten by just taking a screenshot.
