Converting Markdown to Rich Text with Marked

• John

I don’t use rich text often, but I need it for things like podcast show notes because Libsyn, the service that hosts our shows, doesn’t have a Markdown editor. I still create show notes in Markdown using Obsidian, but when they’re ready to paste into Libsyn’s web form, I convert the Markdown to rich text.

The trouble is that too few apps do a good job of making this conversion. More often than not, it’s nested bulleted lists that trip up rich text parsers.
