But it still has all the <span>s for changing the color. That's not specific to gitpitch, but that takes away a lot from markdown I think. Once you start doing that, you can just write HTML to begin with..
- fenomas 9y agoThe whole point of markdown is that it covers a very small subset of HTML in a human-readable way, and for any formatting beyond that subset you use regular HTML. Adding <span> tags to customize things is very much the intended way to write markdown.
- harterrt 9y agoRight, but maybe markdown isn't the right markup language for presentations. This may be the correct way to add color in markdown, but it feels unnatural for the tool. I'm glad xkr brought this up it; it feels like hidden complexity.
- fenomas 9y agoI don't follow. Are there other markup languages where you add styling to text in a way that's substantially different from span tags?
