uhhh, Markdown is "nicely" formatted for geeks, and is great for easing the burden of content creation.
however My mom (and I imagine any non-geek) would have trouble reading the hyperlink format, and be completely confused by the strong vs italics, code, or block quote sections of Markdown.
- pavel_lishin 12y agoMaybe this is just geek privilege talking here, but I think that emphasis and block quotes in markdown are perfectly legible. The link format is weird (and I never remember how to type it), but I feel like it's not too cryptic.
- Kiro 12y agoRemember that we're talking about markdown being shown to people with noscript, something I highly doubt non-geeks are using.
- yohanatan 12y agoWouldn't it also be shown to people who merely have Javascript disabled?
- mahyarm 12y agoOnly geeks really use NoScript. Or people who know geeks that put NoScript on their computer. NoScript breaks many non-geek websites as it is, and they have to have geek skill to fix those breakages.
