You need to be more specific. Long-form content as specified in NIP-23 already supports Markdown. See habla.news. You mean short text notes? NIP-01 explicitly mentions that clients should not parse those as HTML or Markdown:
Content that must be parsed, such as Markdown and HTML, should not be used. Clients should also not parse content as those.
Why that is I don't know, I can only speculate and I'd rather not.
Yes, I mean NIP-1, the most used one! I also assume most of the work is done on the client side and how to render the string contained on it!
I was wondering why NIP-23 yes and not (yet) on NIP-01

Twitter doesn't do markdown, why aren't you whining to them?
Allowing markdown excludes text-only clients and forces GUIs on people. Obviously you don't care about that, but a lot of people do. Get over it.

Was just a question, mate. Take it easy. Any particular reason to be anon on this topic?
