\* this way, going back to `write`, we already know what marker style we need to use.

yup [https://github.com/stackernews/stacker.news/issues/2860](https://github.com/stackernews/stacker.news/issues/2860)

Our bi-directional pipeline allows for lossless structure translation, but it has its own opinions when it comes to markdown serialization.

We can probably store the markdown syntax style on each rich node, for example:

```
- Point 1
  - Point 1.a
  * Point 1.b
* Point 2
```

can be translated to these rich nodes:

```
ListItem
  - Text: Point 1
  - Markdown: DASH
	  - ListItem
	    - Text: Point 1.a
	    - Markdown: DASH
	  - ListItem
      - Text: Point 1.b
      - Markdown: STAR
ListItem
  - Text: Point 2
  - Markdown: STAR
```

- Point 1
  - Point 1.a
  - Point 1.b
- Point 2

* Point 1

  * Point 1.a
  * Point 1.b
* Point 2

Well, when I write

```
- Point 1
  - Point 1.a
  - Point 1.b
- Point 2
```

and I go to `compose` and back to `write`, it becomes

```
* Point 1

  * Point 1.a
  * Point 1.b
* Point 2
```

which to me less aesthetic!
