I think the reasons for those choices are: * It's very uncommon to want your output text actually underlined. * If you really do want underlining, just use <u>this</u>, since it's fine to put raw html in Markdown source. * T

I'm not so sure what's needed here is a spec. What people really want is for all Markdown implementations to be basically the same so they don't have to learn any implementation-specific ideosyncrasies to switch from one to another. The pro

FYI, Pandoc uses ~~two tildes~~ for strikeout syntax.

Using Pandoc, what my habit has become is have the first line at the top of the file be title metadata: % Title Goes Here then make subsequent headings go ahead and start at h1 (rather than h2): Some h1 ======= This pu

I look at it like this: [this] looks a bit like a button you might press (or a link you might click). It looks like what it does. (this) looks like something you'd whisper off to the side --- to add to the conversation. For example, "That p

Somewhat related: Pandoc supports delimited ("fenced") blocks as well, but as an alternative allows you to use tildes ~~~python print "hi" ~~~ rather than backticks ```python print "hi" ``` My own 2 cents:

I wrote up a little comparison of reST and Pandoc-Markdown, http://www.unexpected-vortices.com/doc-notes/markdown-and-re... , which might be of interest to some.

Regarding folding bikes, even the smaller ones are still somewhat of a pain to take on the train. But a really tiny one like the "CarryMe" from Pacific Cycles might fit the bill if your "last mile" commute is in the city.

Perl 5 has been around for a while and has seen quite a bit of optimization. It's fast.

I rediscovered it as well, after updating Ubuntu and trying out Unity and Gnome shell. Xfce does exactly (IMO) what a desktop should do: make me forget what desktop I'm using. It's got all the standard features I expect, and works how I'd e

Gitit is my favorite wiki software. One file per wiki page, and page source is formatted in (pandoc-)markdown [^1]. Also easy to configure and run. [^1]: Pandoc adds some oft-needed extras to classic Markdown, such as support for tables, de

The Go language seems to have some substantial documentation, which is great. Though, throughout, the code snippets would look better with some syntax highlighting.

Do your students have textbooks? Regarding worksheets/quizzes/etc., you usually either write your own, or else --- to get you started --- borrow from other teachers in your school who are teaching the same subject.

When I was teaching, having a detailed lesson plan was the least of my work. Just a handful of bullet points was fine. What takes the most time when you're teaching is grading . Also time-consuming: documenting discipline issues and parent

If there's a lot of Java devs there, the poster might also consider using a JVM-based language. No licensing with MS required, and it should be a relatively painless transition for Java devs.

Hi weavejester. Thanks for the feedback! Regarding Emacs, yes, I guess I'm a bit behind the cutting edge. I'll probably revisit the section of the Guide once I make the upgrade to Emacs 24. Meantime though, I don't think the instructions ar

Hi. Thanks for the feedback. Please note that the document is a work-in-progress. I didn't think to mention its roots on that page, given that it's one of the first things mentioned on the main clojure.org page. Added a note about it being
