> Literally everything I write is in Markdown because it’s so simple to me. I'm inclined to agree, for the display of some text, it's one of the better choices that I've encountered! I actually recall working on a system where HTML instead of Markdown was chosen for the storage and display of user messages (think along the lines of a chat/e-mail app), which came with a plethora of complexity and problems - everything from various editors across apps formatting things differently (sometimes breaking WYSIWYG), to the formatting in the database becoming inconsistent as the apps and libraries are updated but old messages weren't affected, any sort of manual parsing and migrating this data being difficult, as well as sanitization concerns and security challenges. The Markdown suggestion of mine was shot down, but as far as I know there was just problem after problem with using HTML before I took a break from that org and took a bit of a sabbatical. Then again, migrating between different formats like Markdown and HTML is needlessly complicated if you have pre-existing data, so it's better to make the "correct" choice on day 1.
