You nailed it! I am a typographer by profession, and I know exactly what you mean. The trouble with most light-markup languages is indeed their very limited document model and set of node types — basically an html subset, just good enough f

Fair enough. But then again too bad Gruber gets all the credit (and consequently the privilege of nomenclature), while the late prodigy Aaron Swartz at least was his underacknowledged co-inventor.¹ I don’t think Swartz would have agreed on

Happy to read there is some interest in “Markdown 2.0” or “lightweight markup, next generation”. With adoption by big outlets like Github and StackOverflow, and dozens of static site generators built on plain text source files, marked-up in

Strictdown looks thorough: well-done! Added to the inventory of Markdown parsers and resources.¹ SkrivML² is another thoughtful take on lightweight markup, next generation. ¹ https://github.com/rhythmus/markdown-resourc

Fenced code blocks do come through as expected — complete with syntax highlighting. Well done! One suggestion though: I expect my code blocks to not wrap — they’re in <pre> tags, after all. The stylesheet should have them rendered e

I had a look at your website and you write about interesting topics. I’d like to keep track of that. It appears, before the rebuild, you had a feed @ http://mkaz.com/rss.xml — which is gone. I guess the Lanyon web server do

If you’re looking for an open source, self-hosted, webbased plain-text editor, that supports Markdown, reST, and LaTeX, and has Git integration too: just stumbled upon https://notex.ch/ — quite impressive work. Doesn’t look

Yeah, just stumbled upon it the other day. Impressive indeed. Markdown, reST, LaTeX, project-based file management, Git integration… One author, >2000 commits in under a year, actively maintained. Some devs are just these brave silent wo

A student of mine (Graphic Design major) made his master thesis on this topic. He devised a pictograhic signage system, developed a “disaster kit”, all items consistently “branded”, wrote and designed a survival manual. All well-thought and

This will not be an offering to the general public? While logged in into Twitter, the page reads: @myhandle does not have access to Twitter Analytics. If you're a publisher, developer, or advertiser, learn how to get access.

Interesting. I wonder if the ellipsis (…) changes how that wording is being interpreted by the user. Maybe we’ve been accustomed to the idea that … indicates an action is being performed by the application (Loading… — We need to wait.), whe

Except that “moving off Github” seems to have been becoming a meme that’s all over Twitter. When slander hurts your business, what do you do?

Upvote for your beautiful formulation and analogy. What you are referring to was coined by Kant as “transcendental”, as opposed to “transcendent” — there’s theological/mythological/naive metaphysics and there’s abstract/logic

Probably because you inject   (no breaking spaces) instead of regular word spaces — so lines can’t be wrapped. Also, the editor does not accept accented letters (Ä Ö Ü ä ö ü etc.), no Greek (Δεν Έλληνες), in short no Unicode, and n

I’ve been working on a Markdown stylesheet generator which would have you do just that — unfinished side project, though. Have a look at my inventory¹ of Markdown editors (both native and web based), parsers, stylesheets, etc. [¹] https:&#

Sure, but it’s neither portable across platforms, nor user friendly (for non-techies). Imagine managing a collection of photos (or a mixed collection of multiple file formats, like scans of receipts, and pdfs with invoices) in something lik

A file naming convention (lightweight markup) that would allow us to store structured (meta)data right inside file names. Obviously inspired by Markdown and CSV. We could then build lean, database-less asset management applications, while t

Something similar is used by https://peerlibrary.org/ on their homepage’s background, except that over there the pattern is dynamically being animated — to great effect.
