Isn’t it a client issue and not a nostr note issue?
Edit: you could add an option to strip markdown syntax on cross post? That way you can choose to keep or remove markdown formatting? I would hope that nostr clients would eventually be able to detect markdown and render it appropriately at some point

The spec explicitly mentions clients shouldn’t parse markdown content in kind 1:
1: text note: the content is set to the plaintext content of a note (anything the user wants to say). Content that must be parsed, such as Markdown and HTML, should not be used. Clients should also not parse content as those.

Ah, gotcha. Is there a different kind that does allow it?

Also, should not isn't as strong as must not lol

That’s true lol

I guess again it feels like a client issue. Either detect and parse and render markdown, or also support other kinds that the spec allows to contain markdown 🤷‍♂️

I don’t use nostr so I’m probably missing context, but maybe an uninitiated opinion is helpful

30023? a few clients have formatting.
I always thought crossposting should be for long notes…

Yes, NIP-23 but people expect their content to show up in clients like Primal or Damus
