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. 😔 </p><p>Btw: <a href="https://karl-voit.at/2017/09/23/orgmode-as-markup-only/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">karl-voit.at/2017/09/23/orgmod</span><span class="invisible">e-as-markup-only/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://graz.social/tags/LML" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LML</span></a> <a href="https://graz.social/tags/markupsyntax" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>markupsyntax</span></a> <a href="https://graz.social/tags/markup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>markup</span></a> <a href="https://graz.social/tags/syntax" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>syntax</span></a></p>
Karl Voit :emacs: :orgmode:<p>With <a href="https://graz.social/tags/Markdown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Markdown</span></a>, the original (inconsistently designed) <a href="https://graz.social/tags/LML" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LML</span></a> 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.</p><p>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.</p><p>In contrast to that, <a href="https://graz.social/tags/orgdown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>orgdown</span></a>, the syntax of <a href="https://graz.social/tags/Emacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Emacs</span></a> <a href="https://graz.social/tags/orgmode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>orgmode</span></a>, 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.</p><p>More on that: <a href="https://karl-voit.at/2017/09/23/orgmode-as-markup-only/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">karl-voit.at/2017/09/23/orgmod</span><span class="invisible">e-as-markup-only/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://graz.social/tags/publicvoit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>publicvoit</span></a> <a href="https://graz.social/tags/PIM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PIM</span></a> <a href="https://graz.social/tags/obsidian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>obsidian</span></a></p>
