Can you imagine this guy's reaction when he learns about TeX?
- temporary_art 12y agoIt's pretty obvious that he knows about most of the plaintext formats. From what I can gather, the premise is that TeX-based writing is almost as distracting as a doc based system, and markdown simplifies that, especially in his domain (history).
- omaranto 12y agoYes, his reaction will probably be something like: "Mmh, well it is plain text, which is nice, but it (1) tempts me to waste time adjusting the typesetting, and (2) TeX or LaTeX source code is much uglier to look at than Markdown".
