Gruber:

“In fact, in recent years I think Markdown is in use in far too many places where something truly WYSIWYG is called for.”

Agreed. Also:

“That’s the right way to do Markdown. Don’t hide the formatting characters; just style/color them.”

Also agreed.

@jack is there truly a right way anymore ?

@jack 💯

@Gaby Not one that everyone agrees on, certainly :). I figure the guy who invented it gets first dibs, though.

@jack Interesting. I’m not exactly a fan of Markdown and I agree that it’s used in too many places. As I’ve said before, I tend to write in what I describe as nonstandard but valid Markdown, which could equally well be called html without the <p> tags.

@hjertnes YOUR face is wrong ! 😅😅

@Gaby It serves me well enough 😏
