Paragraph.
87 characters in Markdown. 147 in HTML. If I write in HTML, I get distracted from the words by the HTML markup...
- jseliger 15y agoAh. Interesting. I use macros in Textmate and Typinator to accomplish more or less the same thing; for example, command-shift-v will enter "<a href=command-v">, with command-v being paste, and command-i will yield italics, and so forth. Still, having something universal, like Markdown, sounds attractive.
