     @libreoffice is markdown just import / export or can libreoffice restrict the UI to just markdown supported features?

     @Proteus We never made a LibreOffice version 9.x, but of course, use what works for you! 😊 Just bear in mind that older versions are unsupported and missing security fixes...

     Cool,
     but it's all too big for me.
     I'll stick with my version 9.x on my notebook.
     That's perfectly adequate for presentations...

     @rzeta0 It's our new stable branch (in that it won't change, with random new features in 26.2.1, 26.2.2 etc.) It will only receive bug and security fixes. The update checker will recommend it for all users after the first or second point release, but you can always get it directly from the website. Thanks!

     do you happen to know why the "check update" says there's no update?

     Please, consider donating to the #LibreOffice project.

     You can have it for free but the folks involved are cranking out top notch updates and expanding the capabilities all the time.
