Relatively new Bike 2.0 user—I observed that the inline Markdown syntax I’m used to doesn’t generally work. For example, pasting markdown-formatted links, and inline code.
What’s the best way to think about this or achieve this?
Bike’s runtime behavior is generally that of a rich text editor. So to make text bold, select it, and issue the bold command. The new markdown format work encodes this rich text editor model to a markdown file and reads it back in. The main purpose of this is to allow you to edit the file in other editors as markdown.
So generally you are not expect too (and cannot) type **bold** in Bike and have it turn into bold text…
This actually IS possible:
- Edit > Paste > Paste and Render Markdown
(It is working by reading the markdown from the pasteboard. Parsing it into Bike’s rich text. And then pasting that text.

I made an extension that does this. Will try to put it on GitHub later this week.
But yes, ++ to expecting this behavior when using bike’s markdown format.
