@adityapatwardhan has been investigating the native markdown support and will eventually publish a RFC, we should probably just open an issue now to let people know you’re working on this
Like for the Get-Help help system? We plan to continue using MAML/XML there for the short-term–PowerShell-Docs uses platyPS to convert our Markdown help to MAML before publishing it–but in the long-term we have a desire to natively support Markdown (but no timeline, it’s just a dream we’ve been discussing for…two years? /cc @vors)
