- extra88 13y agoMarkdown is still a simpler, more lightweight markup than HTML. Storing text in Markdown is good when conversion is not just to HTML but other formats (e.g. EPUB). Even if the text is always going to be converted to HTML, it would make changing the HTML output more straightforward.
- teleclimber 13y agoThanks, makes sense. I definitely like Markdown's simplicity, but sometimes it feels limiting because the content I am creating includes block elements and special styles that are not in markdown's vocabulary (like a block for a warning).
