HTML/CSS as in the example would indeed be usable, though a similar version of this (with inline labels and checkboxes used for "aside" notes) gets rather messy when used in a textual browser or converted into another format.

The mentioned "Checkbox/Label Trick" seems to be getting somewhat popular, but that's quite a hack and abuse of HTML semantics. Hacks like that (and this one in particular) lead to issues for browsers with CSS unused&#x2

I'm using a setup similar to the described one, though without SMTP or IMAP: a MUA is set to use `ssh <host> sendmail` instead of a local sendmail, and `doveadm sync sh -c ... "ssh <host> doveadm dsync-server"` fo

But at the same time there are modern general purpose systems (Alpine in particular, and Debian when it comes to GNU documentation) that wouldn't even install documentation together with software. Priorities seem to vary quite a bit.

The article's aim is said to be to clarify the meaning of that, but it still seems confusing: if it's rather informal, perhaps it is worth linking the mentioned examples that refer to this equivalence. Sounds like it makes sense i

I've spent some time thinking how to put it, but it indeed doesn't seem like equivalence -- perhaps more of an inclusion. Or coroutines should be limited to stateless ones, but then a similar statement could be made about regular

While it is nice, there are more lightweight and snappy ways to achieve a dark background (or desirable styles in general) -- such as setting a global CSS, using built-in color overriding (at least in FF it's available, along with font

A global [dark] CSS theme helps to deal with that. Setting display brightness to minimum and increasing contrast can help to mitigate it, too.

XML stylesheets can be used for that (and for more complex processing as well). Though it may be a better idea to apply those before publishing, for the sake of compatibility (and then it's just static website generation).

`doveadm sync` is also a nice option if the server supports it: combined with a custom `sendmail` command, one can both send and receive/synchronize messages over SSH, avoiding additional authentication.

It is, but still doesn't meet WCAG's AAA requirements [1,2]. And then there's the blinding white background. Though those issues are common, and one can mitigate them with color overriding (supported by some web browsers) or

It actually highly depends on client support. There's a few XEPs that help to mitigate message loss, some depending on clients and some -- on both clients and server; apparently most clients don't implement those, and the support

Thanks. I think that phlogs form a large part of active gopherspace, though it might be simply because I'm mostly reading through those myself (i.e., that's rather subjective). Then there are some mirrors (web comics, websites), w

As mostly an org user, I still find that part of the markdown syntax to be more intuitive: parentheses are commonly used to clarify or expand on something, and links are often inserted with the same purpose, so a link goes into parentheses.
