[LTER-im] integration of markdown with TextType (and other proposed changes) in EML 2.2

[Stevan Earl]

Hello IMs,

I think you are all aware that Matt Jones and others are preparing for a
release of EML 2.2. One of the issues that I have been following closely is
this <https://github.com/NCEAS/eml/issues/275> one related to the
implementation of TextType in EML as I have found the DocBook
implementation/limitations in EML extremely frustrating. At the risk of
butchering the technical details, I am super, super, super (yes, three
supers!) excited about a change that Matt and others have proposed for EML
2.2 that would allow for the integration of markdown (sorry, Margaret) with
TextType. Matt would love feedback from the community on this proposed
change, so, if you are interested in this issue, please express your
thoughts in the afore linked GitHub issue.

Related, please see here <https://waffle.io/NCEAS/eml> for a list of the
many tickets that Matt and others are working on related to EML 2.2.


Thanks for your consideration,
Stevan
