I've translated HTML markup to Markdown, and from Markdown to LaTeX before fine-tuning the LaTeX, to produce PDFs for printing hard-cover books. Does Markdown have any way to specify eg "begin a chapter on a new page" ? I don

I get that it's all arbitrary, but if we're going to go for a global time system, just makes sense to me to try and align with already-existing universal standards. Both UTC +0000 and UTC +0100 are pretty alien to me as someone in

Lots of references to different ways to generate html and I feel obligated to mention sexpcode, a bbcode-flavored Lisp by the same guy who came up with sleepsort. Ye Olde /prog/ used bbcode for markup and /prog/ worshipe

this is awesome! As soon as I saw this thread pop up, I thought, "this could be a fediverse app..." It speaks to the value of fediverse that so many services are becoming fedi-ized. Not just Twitter, Instagram, Youtube, blogs, 4ch

Yes, much easier to control a single variable. I'm a type 1 diabetic on multiple daily injections -- a pump just introduces a lot of inconvenience for me, price aside. You have to track batteries and change tubing and make sure the tub
