Markdown formatting removed about dsnote HOT 4 CLOSED

Thanks for reporting.

Unfortunately, Bergamot (library that is used for translations) does not directly supports Markdown, but it supports HTML formatting. Thanks to your report, I've discovered that I didn't enable "keeping of HTML tags", so this will be fixed in the next release.

Just thinking... Since HTML formatting works (or will be), maybe I can implement simple Markdown <=> HTML conversion in pre and post processing of the text. This might work 🤔 Looking for the right library...

I guess the all-time popular pandoc might be our friend

Indeed pandoc is a very powerful library but it has one "flaw" - it is written in Haskell! I didn't find any easy way to integrate it to c/c++ program. Fortunately, I've managed to find two nice c++ libraries for html2md and md2html... and everything works quite well :)

but you give the user an option in the interface

Exactly

Additionally I also added support for SRT Subtitles, so you can translate subtitles without breaking the format.

I have to resolve few bugs I found and I'm ready to push new beta for testing.

Okay, I guess the all-time popular pandoc might be our friend in this case.
But I think this will not be trivial because it would be challenging to guess the mime type before you process something.

Edit: If I understand your commit 7e8217b correctly, you are not using a heuristic to guess the mime type, but you give the user an option in the interface. This is a practical solution.
