Behold the holy Grail of text structuring and formatting (as long as you don’t want to deal with LaTeX): orgmode

emacs heretic! begone from this place!
It is absolutely worth it learning it.
how do i use emacs without vim emulation
If you want your vim keybindings inside emacs you can use evil mode
I do like me some htmx
Markdown would be better if everyone using it used the same markdown. I swear no two places use it the same.
true though
Have you seen glow?
It makes markdown look like it should on the terminal
Markdown…is…plaintext, though?
yup but with more tricks
Markdown is text that can kick flip
I write plain text. I just happen to format it like markdown.
I wouldn’t dare try to understand the mind that thinks that Markdown is at all like html. 🤷♂️
I mean, Markdown was specifically designed to be convertable to HTML. So, it is structurally rather similar. It’s basically just a bunch of aliases for a subset of HTML tags.
Having said that, it is also designed to be plain text. You don’t have to convert it, and even when you do convert it, there’s a good chance that what you’ve written in plain text will look fine in converted Markdown as well.
For the purposes of this meme, I would certainly group it with plain text.They are both at the end of the day UTF-8 text.

MD is lowkey overrated
I too find Org-mode markup superior.
Ngl plain txt is the best . But not for writing blog . Need something like # for headings and stuff . To make my blog portable i don’t use mardow much just # for heading and # for tag

Markdown is so annoying. I wanted to record a command in Joplin and had the audacity to make it bold to highlight something. Pasted it into their terminal and it put a bunch of asterisks in. Thanks.
Hmm, interesting. I always write Markdown unformatted, so where I put the asterisks in myself. So, that’s a decent reality check, I guess.
Try pasting commands into
code blocks.If they wanted to make a specific part of the command bold, that still wouldn’t work.
Could underline the part, I guess, like this:
ls -la ###(
#starts a comment in shell syntax, so doesn’t get run, in case someone pastes the whole thing.)
It does format text in the editor pane by default now but uses a big warning with a button to disable it.
However, the built-in code highlighter, much like in many Lemmy frontends, highlights some words/symbols depending on the default language. Therefore, it's best to not use 4 spaces at the start of each line for a code block.Instead, this one starts with "```text" and ends with "```". No extra indents and I get to specify the highlighting language!
