But also, OPTIONALLY, some of those HTML Note also have a mediaType property with value "text/html" so maybe you can make an untranscribed markdown Note if you specify "text/markdown" maybe?

Inconclusive.

NodeBB and Piefed are two examples of software that send text/markdown.

Misskey sends their own variant of Markdown

I don't know, I feel like an amateur lab assistant photographing cool bugs to find examples of, like, articulated legs or something. It's exciting but I actually don't know what I'm doing lol.

Most Note bridged from actual websites in particular tend to feature rich text, so they serve as good samples to observe in activitypub.academy

After a few minutes of scrolling down the main instance's global tl with reckless abandon, I found one that has many style things:

https://mastodon.social/@hashtaggames@hashtaggames.online/117045829482240874

But clicking the link in a browser will redirect to the site from which it originates, so it needs to be manually copy-pasted into the ActivityPub Explorer (sorry)
