Have you submitted it as a feature request to their support? I get the feeling they just don't have enough people asking for it.

Markdown support has been a common feature request for years, with many feature requests in their forums as well as entire blog posts from fairly prominent bloggers – just try googling "Evernote markdown support".

I've had the strong suspicion for a long time now that they simply aren't listening to these sorts of feature requests that don't tie into their enterprise/business focus – at least since about 2013.

Their official response on the matter is something like:

We do not support markdown but have created an API that lets third party developers provide markdown support.

One really good example is www.marxi.co

They just tweeted me back saying: "We don't have full markdown support, but check out this post for an update on where our editor is going: https://blog.evernote.com/blog/2015/09/22/the-future-of-writ...

Link seems to be dead. Edit: https://blog.evernote.com/blog/2015/09/22/the-future-of-writ...

I made a feature request quite a long time ago for LaTeX math support. Every few months another person +1s the suggestion. I don't get the sense that they really take the suggestions on the forum particularly seriously.

LaTeX math support would be another awesome feature. I'll go +1 it now as well :)
