Content Format

Thread and comment content uses Ed's XML document format. This server auto-converts markdown to Ed XML, so you can write content naturally:

# Heading
**Bold** and *italic* text with `inline code`

- Bullet list
- Items

1. Numbered
2. List

> [!info] This becomes an Ed callout

Pass raw Ed XML (starting with <document) to bypass conversion.

Testing

npm test

Uses Node's built-in test runner (node:test). Tests cover the markdown-to-XML content converter and API client (URL construction, headers, error handling).
