#markdown — Public Fediverse posts

I went ahead with this and
- switched my blog to djot
- plan to maintain cdjot and gemtext.lua
- marked my smu fork as unmaintained and added a short retro to the readme
- marked my md2gemini fork as unmaintained
- wrote a blog post about it

#TIL that if you're using #markdown in the #glitchsoc version of Mastodon, it doesn't render pretend 'tone' closing HTML tags, like </snark> unless you escape them, see here for an example: .

So if I've accidentally (and it was an accident I assure you) offended you today, my apologies, and please insert the right tone tag to make the toot more reasonable. </laughingbutalsocrying>

Ich werde wohl morgen den Tag #urlaub dazu nutzen, im #garten zu pflanzen und eine Liste zu verfassen, was ich an meinem #selfhosted #gitlab im #homelab brauche und drüber nachdenken, wie ich potentielle Kandidaten testen kann... Der Anfang der Liste ist:
* Issues müssen auf allen branches sichtbar sein
* #markdown support
* #plantuml support
* Keine merge-konflikte wenn Kommentare von unterschiedlichen committern gepusht werden
* Import von gitlab (inkl. Closed, tags, comments
* (Attachments?)

Whether or not they claim to support #Markdown, here are the results for some #Mastodon clients I have access to…

* ✅ — @pachli (via "Lab experiments")
* 🚫 — @Mastodon, @elk, @pinafore, @moshidon, @Tusky

I'm surprised, because I think I've seen #Elk support Markdown in other posts. I also thought Markdown support would be more common than that.

#ThariqShihipar advocates for using #HTML over #Markdown as an #outputformat for #Claude, highlighting its ability to include SVG diagrams, interactive widgets, and in-page navigation. This approach can enhance the clarity and presentation of information, as demonstrated by a request for an HTML explanation of a Linux security exploit. https://simonwillison.net/2026/May/8/unreasonable-effectiveness-of-html/?AIagents.at #AIagent #AI #ML #NLP #LLM #GenAI

Tip of the day: If you want to use an image in a #Markdown document, you need to link to the image file.

Does anybody know about a rather simple program that can render markdown for a bunch of .md files in a directory?

I am currently using kate to move from wordpress to hugo, but kate doesnt render markdown :/

I dont need anything fancy like obsidian tho...

[Перевод] Claude Code: почему HTML лучше Markdown

Markdown стал стандартным форматом для общения агентов с разработчиком. Простой, портативный, поддерживает базовое форматирование, легко редактируется. Claude даже научился делать ASCII-диаграммы внутри markdown-файлов. Но по мере того, как агенты становятся мощнее, markdown начинает ощущаться тесным. Файл длиннее ста строк уже трудно читать. Хочется нормальных визуализаций, цвета, диаграмм — и возможности легко поделиться результатом. К тому же я всё реже редактирую эти файлы руками. Чаще использую их как спецификации, референсы, брейнсторм-артефакты. Когда правки нужны, их вносит Claude — и тогда одно из главных преимуществ markdown исчезает. Я перешёл на HTML как основной выходной формат. Вот почему. (примеры можно посмотреть здесь: https://thariqs.github.io/html-effectiveness — возвращайтесь читать дальше)

:boost_ok: :boost_requested: Anyone know a cheap #eInkReader with [optional] "backlight"?
- Don't need colour, but it's a plus.
- Don't need WiFi, but it's a plus.
- Just a simple #eBookReader. No vendor-/provider-locked device!
- Long battery life. Bonus points if it can take regular AA/AAA or 18650/21700 cells and allows for tool-free swappable batteries and/or can run solely off USB externally.
- microSD slot or USB-OTG are necessary.
- Must support #ePub, #Markdown, text, PNG, JPG, #PDF, ...

Every month I publish a newsletter-esque post covering what I've been up to this past month.

My April update is out, and covers my blog post on tidying up my #Markdown, a big piece on some #AI tools I’ve tried out for running a fully local digital assistant, insights from the big #London #learning and #HR tech conference at the ExCel last week, some more home networking changes, and some links to things I found useful this past month.

Read it in full, for for free at https://buymeacoffee.com/sylumer/april-2026-4740498

I'm not sure how many of you tried I Write Like after I started posting about it. And it's ok, I'm enjoying it here anyway. Still, it would be nice to have some feedback, so it would help a lot if you voted.

As much as I like to do everything myself, I chose to use an off-the-shelf #Markdown parser for my personal site.

There may sometimes be a good reason to re-invent the wheel — even if it is just to learn more about wheels — but using an established tool or package can save you time and headaches. However, the key is to know which to use and when.

Sobre md, nem quando o Obsidian está instalado, o Android dá a opção de abrir o arquivo com ele.

#markdown #epub #livro #book

O Windows demorou, mas recentemente finalmente adotou markdown (.md) como um tipo de arquivo de texto normal, não como "coisa de ráquer que entende dos blamber vou mandar um vírus e roubar sua senha".

Agora, espero que o Android faça o mesmo.

Agora, espero que Windows e Android também aceitem epub. Eu mando epub para minhas colegas leigas, elas acham que é vírus porque o aparelho não faz a mínima ideia de como abrir (mesmo no Android, que tem Google Livros).

#markdown #epub #livro #book

#Markdown has horrible edge cases and despite the valiant effort of #CommonMark, the dialects seem to diverge and multiply over time. I consider switching my personal stuff to #djot where possible: https://djot.net/

Ideas:
- Stop working on #smu https://github.com/karlb/smu and maintain either https://github.com/karlb/cdjot or https://github.com/karlb/minipandoc instead
- Use https://github.com/karlb/gemtext.lua to generate #gemtext (for #geminiprotocol instead of the unmaintained https://github.com/karlb/md2gemini

Thoughts?

Quarkdown: because #Markdown wasn’t confusing enough, now it’s got superpowers! 🦸‍♂️💥 Combine that with #LaTeX for maximum chaos and frustration, all in the name of "productivity." But hey, at least it’s free and open source, so you can share your misery with everyone! 😂🔧

Some fun for those who reach their word count goal in I Write Like.

How is this thing done? I tried Markdown code format here on Mastodon, using code HTML tags, neither work.

Is my suspicion using own instance with allowed code use correct? ActivityPub supports this, but Mastodon don't?

PS: This shows up as <code> tags on Mastodon.
