Regarding 1., Markdown is much more accessible to the average person, especially the average programmer, than the formats you mention. Markdown is basically becoming a common-knowledge thing where if a person is at least somewhat tech-savvy, you can assume they know at least some basic Markdown.
- m_nyongesa 4y agoMy point was that the Markdown format itself is not complete enough for the task at hand i.e. making documentation. So all the people involved have to 1) learn all the customized extensions specific to this one project (and remember to differentiate them from the other custom versions for other projects, e.g. Rust's one), and 2) learn a custom deployment system. I'd rather just learn one thing and use it for many different projects.
