Why are WYSIWYG document editors so radically incompatible with each other?
- metaloha 6y agoThis guy doesn't understand file formats and competition, it seems. For my part, I defeat these issues in a couple different ways. First, I stick with Markdown editors wherever possible. By itself, this deals with 90% of the compatibility problems. Customization is only a few CSS rules away. And they can be imported into Word and GDocs easily and almost 100% intact - setup some global styles and problem solved again :) If other people need to read it, export to PDF. This likely falls apart a bit when there are custom extensions to MD being used (like for equation display), but it's literally been at least 10 or 15 years since I had the problems described in this Twitter thread.
