Search can be anything you want. It's just text. You are free to use the tools that work for you.
I see the diff in Sublime Merge before committing, so I'm far less likely to break something. I used to make so many errors because the WYSIWYG editor caught a random keypress.
Personally, I want those indicators to be there. I'm editing the text and the formatting. I want both to be on the screen.
Frankly I don't need to convince you that this is better. I work with this 40 hours a week and it's better for me. Feel free to take a different approach, but also accept that this approach is tested and true for me.
- eviks 3y agoBut it's not "just text", that's the whole point of "markup", and that's also the reason why the diffs would fail outside of simplistic changes. To search properly you'd need to strip that markup, so it can't be anything I want, which text editors offer that??? Also, formatting is there on the screen - in the form of formatting!
- nicbou 3y agoThe markup is part of the text. Making text bold is a change to the text. It's part of the diff. The text without the markup has no value. I'm not sure I understand what you're getting at.
- eviks 3y ago> The markup is part of the text So do you change text font size in CSS separate from the content or within markdown since it's part of text and has no value when separated? > It's part of the diff it doesn't have to be part of the same diff. In your current workflow you can't separate it by design > I'm not sure I understand what you're getting at. It's pretty simple - content diffs are very valuable, markdown pollutes it
