Why do these articles always pretend to be so know-it-all? I really don't like the explicit statement that "Markdown got it wrong", leaving no room for debate. For everything that Gruber supposedly "got wrong", a lot of arguments can be made for why Gruber got it "right", the author often explains that himself. That means that a lot of this is subjective. Let's keep the facts and opinion separate.
- slantyyz 7y ago> Markdown got it wrong You're right. The problem with the statement is that there's a presumption Markdown was created for the world at large, and I think it was originally designed for one "customer", who also happened to be the creator. Which means Markdown got it right.
- coffeefirst 7y agoIt's also weird to say "this is wrong" about missing features that there are widely-used extensions for.
