@koppor CSL output format markdown won't work with our custom preview styles. A better idea would be probably to use the Flexmark converter on the html output https://github.com/vsch/flexmark-java/wiki/Extensions#html-to-markdown

Then, its a Switch: if custom preview: flexmark; else csl markdown. Reason: The CSL guys should know better than us.
