Markdown is popular with a lot of applications. As a format for writing documents, I've always hated one thing: adding figures & images means either managing a separate file (fragile & requires time and effort to manage) or using an inline base64-encoded blob (not supported by most editors).

TextBundle seems like a great solution to this problem: package your .md file and dependencies in a ZIP archive. I wish more applications would support it.

@mhucka [small voice] I wish more programmers were willing to move beyond punchcard-compatible document formats so that we could just embed diagrams directly without all of this faffing around in the same way that (for example) MacWrite did four decades ago.

@gvwilson @mhucka in four decades you'll be able to open the text file, not so much the proprietary binary one though...
