Markdown

Hey, where have i seen that before?
- <h1> This is the head line of the thing </h1>
- <p> Let's say some things about the things </p>
- <ul>
- <li> Here's a thing </li>
- <li> and another </li>
- <li> and another </li>
- </ul>
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"
- <article> Here is the very smart thing I'm saying </article>
- <aside> now send me money </aside>
- <address> 2300 Jackson Street..</address>
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
- "Pure" Markdown
- Zim-wiki (not pure Markdown but close enough)
- Emacs Org-Mode
AND, because it's text,
and sort of like a programming language..
WIDELY interchangeable with other formats.
See, e.g. Pandoc
