html, markdown, reStructuredText, wikitext, AsciiDoc, emacs org mode, LaTeX, and a bunch of others.
In some contexts, JSX and markdown are also competing.
I think HTML is the true winner.
- Diti 1y agoI also vote for HTML. It’s the only language I can write in which also includes all the metadata I want to include (schema.org and wikidata.org ontologies).
- Diti 1y agoI’m very curious about why I’ve been downvoted. I assumed the HN crowd was tech-savvy enough to know what ontologies are? And one can’t write a blog post in Turtle.
- slightwinder 1y agoDepends on which war we are talking about. Personal writing? Professional writing? Machine-readable? For personal writing, HTML is not really participating, for the rest, mostly yes, even though for AI-tooling markdown seems the preferred language now. Which opens the question, is there a real advantage in using Markdown with AI instead of HTML? Or did nobody ever tried this?
