The lack of MD support makes manual IO from Docs to your favorite LLM lossy (or very annoying). Cool that it's fixed.

They also already have to support Gemini to Google Docs and vice versa so it makes sense they'd have to support Markdown in some fashion on the backend.

At this point, most major changes could be motivated by LLMs/AI.
