Why I use plain text files. micro.duncanhart.com

@duncanhart is markdown allowed?

@JohnPhilpin is anything (human-readable) that goes in a plain text file part of a plain text file? “If it says .txt on the tin, it’s .txt in the tin”. Maybe. What are the exceptions? But then, “if it says .md on the tin, it’s .txt in the tin.” perhaps I’m confusing the container and the content.

@writingslowly it’s the human readable part … which humans?

@writingslowly exactly

A good software engineer can read html .. code and all

Markdown even easier to parse

And .. I recognize my shortcomings, but I am not alone .. fill a .txt file with Portuguese and I will be listening.
