NIP-01 text_note content clarification
NIP-01 states:
1: text_note: the content is set to the text content of a note (anything the user wants to say). Non-plaintext notes should instead use kind 1000-10000 as described in NIP-16.
Does markdown count as plaintext for text_notes? Clarification needed.
I don't believe so. Markdown makes more sense in NIP-23: https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/23.md
I understand NIP-23 suggests markdown for the content, but NIP-01 does not prohibit markdown for notes. This should be clarified in NIP-01.
Don't you think that this part is enough:
1: text_note: the content is set to the text content of a note (anything the user wants to say). Non-plaintext notes should instead use kind 1000-10000 as described in NIP-16.
I consider markdown as "non-plaintext"
Does everyone consider markdown as "non-plaintext"? If not, we might need some clarification here.
The consensus from a while back was that markdown is fine insofar as it is also plaintext. So lists/headings are fine, but markdown links (for example) are not. For clients that want to render this subset, thats fine, but don't encourage your users to spam other clients with code.

Do you have a link to that discussion?
I don't, somewhere in telegram probably. That was @fiatjaf's opinion iirc, and I agree.
Edit: ah, I see he's still at it!
Relevant jonathanleger/nostrgram#1
In that case, I think NIP-01 needs clarification because one of the main selling points of markdown is that it is a plaintext format.
Please ask Martti to not do Markdown -- or, if he really wants to, ask him to disable the link syntax as in the issue linked above.
