1. Open "about:support"
2. Find "Profile Folder"
3. Open this and create there folder "chrome" (yes, chrome) with file "userContent.css"
4. Write specific CSS:

@-moz-document url-prefix("chrome://devtools/content/") {
.devtools-monospace {
font-family: "JetBrainsMono-Regular", "JetBrains Mono", monospace !important;
}

.inspector-panel #markup-view {
font-family: "JetBrainsMono-Regular", "JetBrains Mono", monospace !important;
}
}

Ik werk steeds vaker met Markup (md) files in plaats van doc of odf.

Dat levert kleinere bestanden op die ook zonder speciale software (Word, Libreoffice) nog te lezen (en bewerken) zijn.

Die omvang voor dat ene bestand maakt niet zo veel uit, maar als je er honderden of meer hebt, dan scheelt dat enorm.

Tevens voor de toekomst minder afhankelijk van de dan beschikbare software.

Information representation is about more than HTML and JSON...

Balisage is the most theoretical of the markup conferences (Nothing is more practical than a good theory). And this is the last.

No! While that tree stands, our scholar-gypsy is not gone! as Vaughan Williams quoted Matthew Arnold.

"If mark_up_ is complicated, then the opposite of that complexity must be… markd_own_. This kind of solution, where it’s so smart it seems obvious in hindsight, is key to Markdown’s success. John worked to make a format that was so simple that anybody could pick it up in a few minutes, and powerful enough that it could help people express pretty much anything that they wanted to include while writing on the internet. At a technical level, it was also easy enough to implement that John could write the code himself to make it work with Movable Type, his publishing tool of choice. (Within days, people had implemented the same feature for most of the other blogging tools of the era; these days, virtually every app that you can type text into ships with Markdown support as a feature on day one.)

Prior to launch, John had enlisted our mutual friend, the late, dearly missed Aaron Swartz, as a beta tester. In addition to being extremely fluent in every detail of the blogging technologies of the time, Aaron was, most notably, seventeen years old. And though Aaron’s activism and untimely passing have resulted in him having been turned into something of a mythological figure, one of the greatest things about Aaron was that he could be a total pain in the ass, which made him terrific at reporting bugs in your software. (One of the last email conversations I ever had with Aaron was him pointing out some obscure bugs in an open source app I was working on at the time.) No surprise, Aaron instantly understood both the potential and the power of Markdown, and was a top-tier beta tester for the technology as it was created. His astute feedback helped finely hone the final product so it was ready for the world, and when Markdown quietly debuted in March of 2004, it was clear that text files around the web were about to get a permanent upgrade."

#Markup languages, from IBM's GML on down the line, including \(\TeX\), TeXinfo, Scribe, SGML, HTML, XML (thank you Jon @bosak🙏), XHTML, Markdown, and their many descendants, have influenced modern #computing in innumerable ways. And their impact will continue far into the future, long after I am gone.

But, from my admittedly-limited perspective, too few #software implementers have exploited the simplicity and the homoiconicity of the #LISP syntax—that much derided and reviled "lost-in-stupid-parentheses" abstract syntax representation that kickstarted it all.

Back in the 1980s, we used to incorporate into enterprise systems the DSLs implemented using baked-in Scheme interpreters. Indeed, GIMP did just that, until they caved in and replaced their Scheme scripting engine with a Python one.

Outdated as I may appear, I remain staunchly in favour of LISP/Scheme scripting DSL in large #software systems.

This looks like an incredible deal, but why doesn't it come with the ePub format? I know Pearson usually offers ePubs via InformIT.

@ericsfraga @oantolin Yes, the direct and initial benefits of #Orgdown are mostly for non-Emacs people: https://karl-voit.at/2021/11/27/orgdown/

However, just imagine for a minute, that all #Markdown usage is replaced with Orgdown usage. Let your thoughts wander for a moment.

This would have tremendous impact on the #Emacs people as well when it comes to working with external tools and people.

Behold, MAML: JSON's hipster cousin born in 2025, promising multiline strings and optional commas to solve problems nobody had! 🤡 Because obviously, we needed another "minimal" and "readable" format in the tech world's overflowing buffet of line noise. 🍜

A #Fediverse tech idea I've been considering for a while.

Hashtags can sometimes be annoying, right? Their primary application is finding posts related to a certain topic, including following one. Therefore, if I look for "horses", I want to find everything horse-related.

The following hashtags should therefore lead to the same set of posts:
- #horse
- #horses
- #equines
- #equine
- #horsetodon

Right? But that's not a reality. Some people tag with one of them, with multiple, or with none at all.

Similarly, #Döner, #Doener and perhaps even #Doner should lead to the same set of posts, right? And what about British-American-splits like how #Localization is #Localisation, and perhaps even #l10n as well? And #LGBT, #LGBTQ, #LBGTQ+, #LGBT+, #LGBTQIA and so on and so on also really should be one hashtag.

So what to do?

I propose:
We should introduce a second symbol for something like "fuzzy hashtags". Not the '#' symbol, but another; perhaps '&' or '~'.

That way I could tag my post '~horse', and it could appear on all hashtag feeds concerning the different spellings of horses! Or I could search for such a fuzzy hashtag.

The different variants could be crowdsourced, or overridden by instance mods. You could also opt-out of that system - your posts showing up in fuzzy searches, most likely.

This would also fix languages like German, where you have many inflected forms: #Männer #Mann #Mannes #Manns #Männern #Männers and so on should all lead to the same result.

If you like #markup languages and related technologies, we have a Discord server where you'd be extremely welcome.

We discuss development of markup technologies, teaching and learning, theoretical stuff, and general tech. We'd love to see you, whether your interest is in #XML, #DigitalHumanities, #LaTeX, #JSON, #Markdown... We should use our collective experience to improve each of our technologies.

(I also just love chatting with other markup geeks!)

If you'd like a server invite, lmk.

I am bad at writing Hyper #Text using the Hypertext #Markup #Language.

• #Inflation is increase in prices of goods and services.
• Inflation is not triggered by “too much money chasing too few goods.” Public spending and bank credits create money, which in turn may increase demand, but only gradually and indirectly.
• Wars, pandemics, droughts, etc. can slash the availability of key goods. Such threats permit big providers to demand ever increasing prices.

Think scarcity of strategic #commodities like IT or wheat. 🧵

During 1992–2020, the USA had low and stable #inflation.

Despite massive federal deficit spending, the Fed met its 2% inflation target (or missed below it) for most of this era.

How come? There were no serious shortage of resources. (Thanks to: no cold war, globalization, bad working conditions, stable commodity supply, increase of greenhouse effect.)

@amoroso My thoughts:

- They mix up Markdown with the general term lightweight #markup language (as if #Markdown is the only #LML syntax)

- They ignore all other markup syntax examples such as (La)TeX, HTML, ...

- great screenshots of Word for DOS upwards 👍

- the title should be "#WYSIWYG vs. LML" (instead of the Word vs. Markdown story)

- no mentioning of other LML examples

Well it looks, as if we're settling for a mediocre standard again.

Markup Languages:

Just something to remember HDML, DHTML, WML, and cHTML.

@Xhuul I haven't found any decent #Markdown editor yet that convinced me.

And yes, I prefer Emacs with #orgmode.

I even write my text in Org and use the export-to-MD functions to generate the appropriate #MD.

That also saves me from remembering the MD-specifics of the current export target. 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. 😔

@pandoc Great idea!

Let's introduce one slightly change at a time and in a few years we could transform #Markdown into #orgdown without anybody noticing and finally get a consistently designed and easy to learn lightweight #markup language with excellent tool support. 😈

Hello #fedifriends, I've just realized that #asciidoc & #asciidoctor aren't the same thing, so I was using the documentation of asciidoctor and processing the my document with asciidoc… 🤦‍♂️

I don't know who came late, but the choice of the name is very confused, so now I'd like to know what the #fediversians like to use if asciidoc or asciidoctor, or at least you recommend.

The point is some stuff aren't working because perhaps aren't for ascidoc on the other end asciidoctor is very aggressive on the web search, so unless you don't exclude it from the search it completely eclipses the other one.

Thanks! 🙏

@padeluun

Disclaimer: habe kein Golem+ und daher kenne ich den Inhalt des gesamten Artikels nicht.

Wenn man zwischen #WYSIWYG-Editoren, komplexen #Markup Sprachen wie #HTML oder #LaTeX und #Markdown unterscheidet, hat MD einige Vorteile.

Vergleicht man allerdings die Lightweight Markup Languages (#LML) untereinander, so sind die Nachteile von #MD im Vergleich zu den Alternativen offensichtlich.

Beispiel #orgmode: https://karl-voit.at/2017/09/23/orgmode-as-markup-only/

IMHO sollten bessere LML geboostet werden.

I’ve developed WML pages when the first WAP-ready devices came out, but I had never heard of HDML: Handheld Device Markup Language.

Around 2007 when #SecondLife was a thing, I expected / hoped for an open #3D #web to come into existence. I imagined browsers to be able to load 3D content from web servers and display it just like web pages.
Now, with the Apple #VisionPro and its promise of general use #xR, I’m a bit disappointed. I‘ve searched the w3c.org website for „3D“ and only found 2 working groups that have been dormant for 10 years. #VRML also seems dead.

Is there a 3D #vector #markup language I should look into?
