I guess the author has never heard of Markdown editors with a preview feature, and doesn't know that the Claude Code VS Code plugin opens plans in preview mode.

  Are you just trying to pretend that Markdown is as rich as HTML and that all the use cases that they described are possible with Markdown?

    Markdown was a hype in late 2010s that has cooled down due to chatbots. In turn, chatbots pump up markdown by making it the default output format.

      I've felt the opposite. With MD being the preferred planning+documentation output for LLMs, the time of "hype" seems to be now. It seemed just a few years ago that devs hated writing properly formatted markdown.

    Technically, yes. Markdown was always intended to be used for creating HTML and thus allows you to use HTML inline (with some minor caveats, see: https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax#html https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax#html). If you rename a .html file to .md, your markdown viewer should render it just the same as your browser did.
