Off the top of my head… Tools for transclusion, inserting parts of other docs and rich references to them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transclusion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transclusion i.e. I refer to lobste.rs and Hacker news stories in posts like this: https://www.oilshell.org/blog/2021/04/build-ci-comments.html https://www.oilshell.org/blog/2021/04/build-ci-comments.html I wrote a bit of (offline) JavaScript to do it, but I could see it being expanded. I find it makes the posts more like a conversation with others Twitter/Facebook do this with OpenGraph <meta> tags too Also better support for keeping the source of diagrams and images synchronized with the post. It’s sort of a build system problem I thought that Joel Spolsky was doing something like transclusion - https://blockprotocol.org/ https://blockprotocol.org/ Though maybe it’s a bit different. The holy grail is to have both a nice GUI/rich text preview and also “plain Unix” formats like CommonMark / HTML. It seems like you have to choose one or the other these days.
