One quote from the article that I disagree with:
"This is "Markdown-like" but specifically not Markdown because novel typesetting has requirements that can't easily be retrofit in Markdown."
Any HTML can be included with Markdown. Why not use HTML for specific typesetting use cases?
- samatman 4y agoThis is a lot like feeding JSON to a YAML parser. Barring the known edges, it works, but if that's normal, why the YAML parser? Inlining a bit of HTML into Markdown is a good way to inject some forms Markdown doesn't support, but there's some tipping point where the Markdown is just in the way.
