Cam: Is it possible to get the Markdown text from a named Markdown cell instead of the DOM element?
Michael: Why do you want to?
Cam: I’m playing around with trying to parse items in a list: those that are crossed out and those that aren’t. The Markdown cell is handier to type in a list, but now I can’t get the original text (yet).

\n\nThe name of a Markdown cell refers to the DOM element in which it’s rendered; you can call _querySelectorAll_ on that to get members of the list.
