As a non-web developer I cry every time I need to use HTML: It's really "ugly" in some way (And I'm used to ugly languages).
But I have learned to love Markdown too, I hope in the future, distant future: Someone will create a language that integrates HTML and CSS into a nice Markdown-like language.
- Evbn 14y agoNo way. Markdown chooses simplicity over correctness. Fine for chat forums an Readmes, but in many cases correctness matters.
- TazeTSchnitzel 14y agoHTML ugly? Nonsense. <!doctype html> <meta charset=utf-8> <title>Hello, world</title> <h1>Hello, world</h1> <p>This is a paragraph about HTML. <ul> <li>Bullet point <li>Bullet point </ul> That's not ugly.
- randomchars 14y agoWait, not closing <p> and <li> is valid?
- TazeTSchnitzel 14y agoCompletely. You can, with a doctype, also omit <html>, <head> and <body>, too. Not closing <li> is good, but I'd avoid it for <p>.
