Collabora Online Writer can now read and write Markdown for any text document
Writer supports insert-then-delete, insert-then-format and delete-then-format as combinations of changes with different types. So format-on-format is not supported at a file format level, DOCX can’t represent it, either.
But instead of just losing the old format when we create a new format, we can do better: update the format redline to now track the formatting of the union of the old and new format change.
This still means that the metadata (e.g. author) will be only stored for the new change, but accept or reject on the format will result in the expected formatting:
This means that in case BBB is bold and the middle B is additionally italics, then reject will now work correctly to get rid of both formattings.
