- fragmede 2y agobut you jump through those hoops during setup, vs seven extra characters every paragraph
- cdchn 2y agoBut then you just end up writing HTML anyways.
- fragmede 2y agothe output is html, but when you're writing markdown thought flows to output more seamlessly, with fewer characters vs with having to close italics with the more awkward </i>. yeah in the end that goes through a tool and it outputs html, but it's about when I'm trying to get the ideas out of my head and onto the page.
