Yeah, Markdown was originally conceived to be easy enough to parse
visually and write that you don't really need WYSIWYG. But it's easily
rendered to HTML+CSS. So if you need something with more formatting
than plain text, but easier to read/write than raw HTML+CSS or
XML+XSLT, Markdown hits that sweet spot.

Not for what you're looking for. My experience with Markdown is
posting hand-formatted MD on sites like Reddit and Github, and using
it in code editors like kdevelop and vscode when I'm writing up
documentation. Honestly, I find it easy enough to read even with the
markup that I haven't looked for a WYSIWYG editor.
