Eh, we had plenty of such structured document formats in the past. Markdown has won simply because it's much less hassle to write while still being readable without a specialized viewer. Markdown is exactly at the right sweetspot.
- immibis 11mo agoAs long as your unstructured hassle-free writing just happens to be in the same format accepted by the viewer.
- flohofwoe 11mo agoA generic ASCII capable text viewer is enough to read markdown, that's the point ;)
- ranger_danger 11mo agoonly if the markdown consists of 100% ASCII... unless you have a different definition of "view" than me
