Tip of the day: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. For your documents, you certainly care about the aesthetics, because looking at a pretty document is simply much more pleasure. If you use or HTML-based documents in , you can easily customize the look with a stylesheet. Here’s how that works. https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20230110-custom-stylesheet

The mnemonic I use to remember Markdown link syntax is that the square brackets look a bit like a button and then the round brackets mention the URL as a note afterwards:

button

@kate Great idea!

The order is still very unintuitive because there are URL links without descriptions as well and why should we start with the optional part? 🫣🙃

My recommendation for many reasons:

Oh, great. Now wants £170 per year so I can access the stats I've accumulated over the decades.

Looks like lots of other sites are having the same problem - https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/jetpack/

Can anyone personally recommend a self-hosted stats package which works with WordPress and doesn't require JavaScript? All I need is per-post counts. I don't care about anything else.

I've found a lovely little #Markdown Editor plugin for #WordPress.

Sadly, it doesn't work with my code highlighting plugin.

This may be a Three Drink Problem.

Wygląda na to, że trwają prace nad aktualizacją Apple Notes, która zapewne będzie miała miejsce w .

Na razie wiadomo o dwóch funkcjach:

  1. Notatki głosowe, podobnie jak wbudowana w system iOS funkcja nagrywania.
  2. Notatki matematyczne, które w jakiś sposób mają łączyć się z kalkulatorem.

Widać że Apple inspiruje się chociażby OneNote. Ja mam tylko nadzieję, że dodadzą i może też coś jak properties w Obsidianie. https://mastodon.social/@appleinsider/112286411324524259

Tant que vous êtes à discuter du #Markdown. Certain·nes d'entre vous savent si, un jour, celui ci sera supporté sur Mastodon en client web ?

ça ne marche pas

: "When you use a docs as code workflow, you need to codify your docs processes and instantiate them in your Git workflow. So you not only need to define the following:

  • When to publish doc updates
  • How to release doc updates
  • How to coordinate a docs release with a product release

You also need to define Git best practices for your team about how to manage those, such as:

  • Whether to use release branches, or merge pull requests frequently but publishing infrequently.
  • Whether to use Git rebase or Git merge to maintain Git history in a given branch.
  • Whether and how to use feature branches and pull requests.
  • Whether to squash merge pull requests to main.

Even if you manage to define best practices that your team is committed to following, there isn’t a way to force your documentation contributors to adhere to all of these best practices. Due to the lack of enforcement of these best practices, you can easily end up in a situation where writers follow slightly different practices based on what their tools make easy to do."

Me, about to go on a rant about how everyone has missed the -entire- point of Markdown:

it's not markup.

Me, predicting future complaints:

"Your markdown doesn't render right for me."

"Oh you need to have FlibbertyGizbits plugin and TableWax extension and and and..."

Missing. The. Entire. Point.

It's not that there shouldn't be something like that for layout and formatting--there's a demand. Call it something else to avoid creating a dependency issue.

Another lazy question.

I use to write my posts.

Code is written as:

print("hello")  

That's automatically converted to:

<pre><code class="language-python">…

I use HighlightJS to do syntax highlighting. But that pulls in lots of JS which I'd rather avoid.

Is there a decent plugin for doing sever-side rendering of code highlighting which doesn't require blocks / Gutenberg?

I know I can try a few out, but I'd like to hear people's personal experiences.

1/ #Markdown challenge: If you want to support hard wrapping, you need to always have an empty line before a list (=the empty line after “Apple” is mandatory):

  1. Apple
  • Juice
  • Sauce
  1. Orange
  2. Banana

Why? List bullets may start new paragraph lines—e.g.:

This book is in my top
10. Only if there are very few (2 or
3) people. Multiplication: `3

  • 2`.

Amazing. I love the idea -- maybe that can help with blogging using static site generators 🤔

F# though, that'll be tough to hack around with.

Djot answers the question: What would CommonMark (a Markdown standard) look like:
– If it were simpler.
– If it supported attributes for blocks and inlines.

It's great to have gopher and gemini protocol, but why not use markdown (or orgmode) as a simple yet powerful one ?

Imagine, your notes rendered natively in your browser : headings, lists and so on, but no bloated js.

@chimay Yes! is too restricted, would be great.

That's why "Hello world" was everything I made...: gemini://gemini.udoburghardt.de/

Do you use Excalidraw, Canvas, both or neither?

After the release of JSON Canvas, I was curious how people handle whiteboarding and graphical notes in Obsidian. Personally, I only use Excalidraw because I was already a user of its web version and because of its support for md and iframes, although I don't like how it handles embedded notes, everything else is easily corrected...

@deborahh The only clients I've found so far that handle #Markdown in the wild (formatting on any post, not by the server) are the iOS app "Trunks" and the web app https://elk.zone.
