Isn't org-mode compatible with markdown?
Org-mode can be exported to many different languages (markdown, HTML, LaTeX) via org-export.
If you're asking whether org mode uses all the same syntax of markdown (which would make them 1:1 compatible) it does not.
For instance, "headline" in org mode is "*", whereas in markdown a top level heading is "#".
Oh, it's a headline? I always treated it like an item.
Now it makes more sense that emacs insists on collapsing them.
Yeah, org-mode prefers using " - " and numbered lists as items. (Although they are also collapsible)
