     @loke @losttourist @neil There is an additional field in the standard to optionally retain the source code, but nobody uses it.

     @losttourist @neil The content is presented in HTML form though. The markdown isn't visible to the client. That's how I understand it.

     @loke @neil I think the key point is that the client needs to understand the text/markdown MIME type, otherwise even if markdown text is used in a post it doesn't get formatted

     ActivityPub's "source" element comes close to e-mail's "Content-Type: multipart/alternative"

     I wonder why ActivityPub didn't re-use e-mail's Content-Type structure. Maybe Christine can comment? @cwebber
