What do you mean if? The internet is built on html. Markdown is a random flare up of an annoying annotation standard pushed by LLMs. No one used Markdown anywhere near at the scale of html before ChatGPT
- zameermfm 5mo agoThats a complete reductive idea of MDs. MD was long spawn before LLMs as a need for light weight formatting and easy conversion to different formats. No one used at that scale doesnt mean the absence of the utility for it, as the primary adopters were tech community and that was a layer below the consumer market. Utility obviously stands, the question is, can HTML supersede on that utility side of it in all developer work components.
- digitaltrees 5mo agoI said “not used at the scale of html” not “no utility”

- dnnddidiej 5mo agoSo you write a HTML Readme? Markdown is what I write 99% of the time. Unless I am in a rich editor and HTML behind the scenes. HTML is a communication layer. Hardly anyone is writing it directly. Using React etc. or whatever or even LLM.
- digitaltrees 5mo agoNo but I should. My point is: what’s the total number of html files in existence? Billions. What’s the total number of markdown readme files.
