It's kind of the ur usecase of markup languages. Without this property WYSIWYG is significantly better.
- asicsp 4y agoI like markup over WYSIWYG because I can use my preferred text editor, can be version controlled, reused in multiple places (reddit, github, etc). I like that the markup I use (Markdown) is readable as is, but I wouldn't mind losing a bit of readability for more features.
