Should I dare to do a "why #Markdown is one of the worst lightweight markup syntax languages there is"-session at a UX/UI-dominant #barcamp?

C'mon, do push me over that cliff!

Background: https://karl-voit.at/2017/09/23/orgmode-as-markup-only/ it's related but would be a different focus since I won't push #orgdown that much - people can be happier with other LMLs as well as long as it's not the #MD hell. (Sneak preview: I'm writing a long article on all the MD issues in order to explain it once and for all since the Mastodon discussions are really annoying to me.)

Ho optato per la metro, mezzo più vicino. Il display annuncia solo quelli che entrano al capolinea, non quelli della mia direzione. Lo sto aspettando da 10 minuti, nulla. Dall’altra parte attesa di 21 minuti. La grande amministrazione di #Roma Capitale e il servizio offerto per il #Giubileo #LML

@Xhuul I haven't found any decent #Markdown editor yet that convinced me.

And yes, I prefer Emacs with #orgmode.

I even write my text in Org and use the export-to-MD functions to generate the appropriate #MD.

That also saves me from remembering the MD-specifics of the current export target. I always mix up the MD flavors currently at hand because I need to use different MD-enabled tools on a daily basis and all of them have their special markup variants - sometimes it's even necessary to use, e.g., different table syntax (within the same MD tool!) for different table properties such as line breaks and stuff. It's really a bad mess with MD.

Ok, oggi è ancora gennaio, ripeto ancora gennaio, ma si sente la primavera nell’aria, con tutto quello che ne consegue, tanto che non riesco nemmeno a incazzarmi fino in fondo con ATAC… forse #LML

Sono entrata su X solo per chiedere info a quel servizio. Ho chiesto due volte, nessuna risposta. Non so se per via dell’algoritmo, e se così, via le istituzioni pubbliche da quel posto right now diventa imperativo, o perché non possono scrivere subito “in arrivo”. #LML (collettivo)

With #Markdown, the original (inconsistently designed) #LML syntax format is a minimal set that made much sense when used when typing emails and so forth. Later-on, various tools needed more syntax elements for obvious reasons. Those syntax add-ons extended the original Markdown. However, they were not standardized.

This resulted in a zoo of very similar but incompatible set of Markdown flavors. Those differences cause information loss by moving from one "Markdown" tool to another "Markdown" tool because Markdown is not Markdown in most cases.

In contrast to that, #orgdown, the syntax of #Emacs #orgmode, as the one and only original form has - by far - the largest set of syntax elements and various extensions by modules. Any other adaptation of this syntax in other tools chose a real sub-set of the original syntax elements. This makes data transitions much smoother, is less error-prone and causes less data loss.
