Markdown - Tumblr Posts
Fun fact. Markdown... is a markup language
If you do not know what markup is... you should look it up. It is basically HTML that works both encoded and as clear text. Meaning it is the perfect note taking "language". In reality it is "just" a convention for how to write super nice-looking notes that have been tested by millions of people to be the very best it can be.
No big deal.
Oh also it is free, you do not even need a special program to look at it. Your browser can do it perfectly.
Oh absolutely. I have written every single report and paper that non-programmers ( Users, pruduct owner, whatever ) in LaTeX.
It is Word. But you can do ANYTHING you want, work in the same updated file if you use overleaf ( Like google docs.... But you know... good... ).
And if you just want to write a basic report with a few diagrams. LaTeX just makes it nice and easy and looks good, dry and professional.
But markdown... Oh markdown is for documentation. And it is perfect.
It is super super easy to use. The "Cost" of this, is that you only have few features...
And that is KEY. Combined with you being able to put pictures in what is otherwise basically cleartext, means that you MUST be able to clearly explain whatever it is you are documenting with nearly no fancy text, colors, weird structureing with the words or whatever.
No. You MUST do it in text... Or use a diagram.
It forces you to use DIAGRAMS in your documentation. Glorious easy-to-read better than a thousand words diagrams.
It removes the horrible middle-ground and lets you focus on making documentation super super fast, with text and diagrams.
