There are a couple I have in mind. Like many techies, I am a huge fan of RSS for content distribution and XMPP for federated communication.
The really niche one I like is S-expressions as a data format and configuration in place of json, yaml, toml, etc.
I am a big fan of Plaintext formats, although I wish markdown had a few more features like tables.
Unicode editors for notes/todo formats, making markup unnecessary.
Does unicode have bold/italics/underline/headings/tables/β¦etc.? Isnβt that outside of its intended goal? If not, how is markup unnecessary?
Does unicode have bold/italics/underline/headings/tables/
Yes, and even ππππ»π» ππππ π £π ·π π. And table lines & edges & co. are even already in ASCII.
Isnβt that outside of its intended goal?
π€·<- this emoji has at least 6 color variants and 3 genders.
If not, how is markup unnecessary?
Because the editor could place a π―πΌπΉπ± instead of a **bold**, which is a best-case-scenario with markdown support btw. And i just had to escspe the stars, which is a problem that native unicode doesnβt pose.
What about people who prefer to type **bold** rather than type a word, highlight it, and find the Bold option in whichever textbox editor they happen to be using?
