It may have been intended to be human readable, but it failed dismally in that goal.
Even before the web turned into the javascript infested swamp that is now, the tags having the same visual weight as the text they enclose made it tiring to read.
Markdown's genius is in the formatting tags being almost no hindrance to readability.
- williamcotton 3y agoI definitely agree that Markdown is more readable than markup, but personally I abhor what some frameworks do to HTML. I make sure my HTML is legible! There is even a benefit when it comes to hyperlinks in that you can see the URL!
