FYI: Slideshow (S9) [1] lets you write your presentations in markdown and than lets you pick one of many template packs [2] such as Reveal.js, Bespoke.js, Deck.js, Shower.js, S6 and some more. [1] http://slideshow-s9.github.io&#x

SQLite is great for multi-blogs / planets too - I use SQLite for the backend in the pluto tool [1] that helps running Planet Open Suse, Planet KDE and others. [1] https://github.com/feedreader/pluto.starter

I use SQLite for sharing structured open data - it's a better alternative to zipped csv datasets, for example. See the football.db [1] as some example SQLite datasets e.g. the English Premier League in england.db and so on. [1]: https

FYI: # is already "reserved" in markdown for headings. So in theory markdown is also not workable, in practice :-). It's kind of like: 1. FC Köln - that's a football club name (and not a list marker). Try it in markdo

Thanks for your kind words (yes, sorry for the missing disclaimer). Texti is slowly evolving :-) The point is NOT to invent new syntax [1], thus, using the established unix-style/shell-style/python-style/ruby-style for comme

Another great alternative is Wikitext used by the Wikipedia (among many others) see https://www.wikipedia.org or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Wikitext PS: Why not have the best of both worlds, that is

You can use colors - like in html and css you keep style and structure separate. If you want all your heading 2 blue, for example, than you can use h2 { color: blue; } and so on and so forth. PS: By the way, you are currently commenting in

FYI: I've put together a collection of CSV specifications [1]. CSV Dialects / Flavors include CSV v1.0, CSV v1.1, CSV Strict, CSV <3 Numerics, CSV<3 JSON, CSV <3 YAML and some more. [1]: https://github.com&#x2F

Love it a great way for encouraging more syntax experimentation in the wild. A less functional and more conceptional library is the pragma gem [1] - that lets you turn on the future today or add your own ideas for easy (re)use for everyone

JSON and YAML qualify as plain text, for sure. Plain text is a spectrum. Let's say from "free form" english text as your comment to more machine-oriented structured formats like JSON and YAML. YAML, for example, tries to be

Great collection of tools and articles. Plain text is also a great (and the best) choice for datasets. Do NOT use JSON, YAML and friends, for example, as your input format but use plain text with a custom parser to import into any SQL datab

Of course not :-) Python, Ruby and friends can do so much more (and you can run your pipes on your own computer, for example, ...).

You can use modern scripting languages such as Python, Ruby and friends. They will never go out of fashion if you want to put together a pipeline (also known as workflow or script :-).
