He's only saying if you want to write man docs use the syntax designed for it... Ok. It's horrible to read and write but it's probably the best thing to use.
OTOH if you want to write simple plain text that humans can read and write with no difficulty at all, but can also make nice richer text if you want, markdown is great.
- kaba0 3y agoMarkdown obviously has a place and I quite like it, but if someone wants more expressiveness, I think Typst’s language does a very good job of being similar to markdown, yet giving you everything LaTeX can. Unfortunately it doesn’t yet have an HTML export version (I would be okay with a simplified one as well for now, like only do paragraphs, emphasis, etc)
- MattPalmer1086 3y agoDidn't know about typst. Looks quite nice, I like that you can embed LaTeX style maths in it, but it is still quite readable.
- pepa65 3y agoThank you for bringing up Typst, it is completely awesome, SO useful.
