Hi Zettlr team,
I’ve been doing a major cleanup of a long-running Markdown project and discovered that your Transform → Italics to quotes → Quotes to italics combo is a brilliant way to migrate italic syntax to italic. It works beautifully — but it takes two steps and misses a few edge cases.
Would you consider adding a single “Normalize italics to asterisks” (or “Convert underscore italics to asterisks”) command to the Transform menu?
It would:
– Convert italic → italic safely, skipping underscores used in math or code.
– Standardize Markdown emphasis for downstream tools (Pandoc, Git, KaTeX, etc.).
– Save a lot of time for users cleaning legacy files.
Thanks for making such a powerful and thoughtful editor — this one addition would make it even better for large canon-style projects.
