Trying to parse (lol) the remark docs so I can write a Markdown extension, and, well…
Extend the syntax of markdown means […] Defeating the purpose of markdown: being simple to author and looking like what it means
With all due respect, I’m extending the syntax because I want it to be simple to author and look like what it means. I want to differentiate between a handwritten note, a chat transcript, and a normal block quote as quickly as I differentiate between normal text and something emphasized.
So there. 😜
