   Let me clear: im completely against these bannings specifically. It looks like a very political move and it came out of nowhere without any warning to the subreddit mods, volunteers who make reddit what it is. Having said that, I still don&

   ?? Are you somehow suggesting that people involved in gun sales or drug sales on reddit are somehow meme generators keeping the culture alive?? People made the same arguments when /r/fatpeoplehate was banned and /r/nigge

   Is there a document spec out there that is more feature-full than Markdown, but isn't Latex? Is it even possible to create such a spec and not end up re-creating Latex?

    Suggestion: instead of making me download a pdf to see examples of what the results look like, maybe put them on the page directly. You can have a couple. Then put the details in the pdf. Great software otherwise

    1. It's hard to speak up when it could literally mean life or death. 2. Why don't the people of the USA speak up and urge their government to stop the aggression against North Korea? The US's aggression/imperial attitude
