What are your painpoints with markdown?


I'm currently working on an article about distraction free writing. I would be intrested if you have any difficulties using Markdown?

Nowadays I want most of my imgs inside figure blocks with figcaption, alt text and a title.

Markdown isn't that sophisticated, and neither is Pandoc's extension of Markdown. Even the part of it that Pandoc can do gets obscure.

Markdown is best for very simple markup.

For me its quite combersome to use tables.
