Comment on Org-mode parser in Rustparent

Comments

I think not having to balance headline length with underline length is a good plus. Also not having to memorise the hierarchy of underline characters is a good plus.

The format seems better suited to extension too with ways to have annotations or blocks

You can do headings in Markdown like org mode, just use # instead of *:

  # Level 1
  ## Level 2
  ### Level 3
  #### Level 4
  etc.
I rarely see the fiddly format in the wild, probably for the reasons you mentioned, and because it only allows H1 and H2:
  Level 1
  =======
  
  Level 2
  -------
Of course there are lots of things org mode does better than Markdown, I'm just addressing the specific point you mentioned.
