Support Emacs org markup language

[lthms]

I do agree that this is not a priority issue, and I don't know if you should really implement it; I mean, markdown is definitely the big player in the markup language league, while org(-mode? I never know what is the official name) is less known. I don't know if there is mature implementation of org parser in Rust. I know pandoc does support org, but it would give you an additional dependency to manage.

Anyway, I am considering using a Plume instance to publish my articles in the long run, but most of them are written using this strange markup language of Emacs called org.

Do you consider supporting additional markup languages, and more specifically org, in the future? If so, I would really be interested :) And I can even try to help.

Actually, Markdown was more a temporary solution to allow formatting your posts, but in the future I think we may switch to a custom format, with a distraction-free visual editor. But a CLI tool that you could install locally and use to login with your Plume account, and convert from org-mode to the Plume format and to post your article could be possible.

Thanks for the answer :) What you explain is that, in the future, Plume will not accept a given markup language, but rather a (presumably safe subset of?) HTML?

Actually, I think it will be sent through the REST API, and it may use some JSON AST, that will the be "rendered" to HTML by the server. So you could easily build a CLI tool to convert from org-mode format to the Plume AST and use the REST API to post your article automatically.
