#markdown

Interesting. I've long done italics with one underscore and bold with two, thinking them less disruptive than asterisks on servers that don't show #markdown.

But here single skids are interpreted as underlining, though using double still means bold. Have to remember to use stars for at least italics.

#Tipp #Workflowy #Wissensmanagement #Outliner

Workflowy funktioniert wie #RoamResearch, #Notion, #Remnote usw. als "System von Blöcken". Die Abschnitte werden als Blöcke bezeichnet, sind untereinander verknüpfbar usw., Stichwort Backlinks. (Obsidian hingegen erzeugt ein File System.)

Bei Workflowy können alle Daten aber als eine (!) #Markdown-Datei - in einem Zug - gesichert werden.

Markdown ermöglicht "schlanke" Dateien und Zukunftssicherheit

I've had a statuslog section on my now page (reillyspitzfaden.com/now/) for a while, and I added it to my homepage as well (reillyspitzfaden.com/#homepage).

The especially nice part is that I now have a script (github.com/reillypascal/person) so I can simply type `./status` in the terminal, write the status text in the resulting .md file that pops open, and then commit/push!

I've seen some IndieWeb people (e.g., @binarydigit) do something similar via one of omg.lol's tools (home.omg.lol/info/statuslog) and liked it, but I wanted to see if I could DIY it just for the heck of it. Very happy with how easy the result is!

@bastian_S Jetzt noch den Nerdteil dazu, daher ohne Applist-Hashtag aber mit #linux.
#logseq nutzt als backend entweder #markdown oder #orgmode . Letzteres kann man natürlich über #emacs auch direkt nutzen und damit sehr gut aus Notizen und Ideensammlungen sehr akkurat gesetzt über #LaTeX PDFs kreieren... Für Poster, Präsentationen und Fließtext schon getestet.
die komplette verschränlung mit Logseq ist noch nicht gelungen, werde berichten, wenn fertig.

Earlier this week I saw where #markdown was growing in popularity for a variety of reasons. Ease of use, simple format, great output, etc.

Now I saw where Microsoft is even creating tools to convert their own formats to Markdown.

So I've finished a proof of concept of this thing where I can now execute #markdown code blocks.

The program is called 'md-babel'

This backend (like LSP sever) produces JSON responsed from executing the code block at a source location.

To get interactive feedback and see whether it works, I needed to teach an editor how to interpret the JSON response.

Was a breeze in Emacs (see video). Other editors are next.
