Markdown

Created Monday 13 September 2021


Hey, where have i seen that before?


not bad..


HTML


Where we're going.


Also, a close cousin of XML..
..WHICH IS WHATS GOING ON UNDER THE HOOD OF DOCX et al anyway.


..seriously, try it. Rename a .docx to .zip and have fun..


To get this even better

Understand the theory of "semantic"




We'll get to HTML later, but what about for prose?

HTML and LaTeX are *very* cumbersome, no?
What about something that we all write in,
..with just MINIMAL formatting along the way.


For example


# This can be a headline

/and this can be italics/
*and this could be
*bullet
*points
etc. etc.


MARKDOWN

Excellent idea. Markdown..
.. or something like it.


MARKDOWN


AND, because it's text,

and sort of like a programming language..


WIDELY interchangeable with other formats.


See, e.g. Pandoc
