If you aren't trying to build a SPA or something like that and you just want to mark up some text for formatted output ... HTML is kinda made for that task.
That being said, I tend to stick with Markdown since I find angle bracket tags to be noisy and distracting when I view documents in plain text.
- hoofhearted 3y agoYes! I agree with this! It’s just plain old dumb boring static text that is being moved around the web. The internet was essentially created so that CERN could share plain old text documents with others remotely. Why do I need a big bloated overly complicated PHP webserver that talks to an overly complicated database, when it’s just plain old static text after all?
