Djot Markup

Djot markup language support for WordPress. A modern, cleaner alternative to Markdown.

Like you, I use markdown to write notes in Joplin. And to write Fedi posts such as this one. (wafrn, the Fedi software I am using, supports writing posts in markdown.)

My only suggestion: do not get seduced by markdown's ease of use. Do not try to use it indiscriminately. Do not use it for documents that require complex markup (text with lots of subscripts/superscripts, mathematical equations, chemical formulae, nested sections, tables, columns, etc.), or even for simple but very long documents (long-form writing, books).

Basically, limit its use to short documents/notes that require very little markup.

This article is a good overview of the benefits and limitations of markdown.

As an aside, I hope djot replaces markdown as the most popular lightweight markup language in the near future.

#Djot markup for #PHPStorm IDE etc: https://github.com/php-collective/djot-intellij Auto detects the .djot files and renderes the preview. Can use the #PHP lib to render exactly what would render out online.

Thanks to @dereuromark, phpDocumentor Guides now has support for #djot 🎉

Djot is an improved and more precisely specified alternative to Markdown, designed to remove ambiguities and edge. It offers clearer rules, better nesting, and more consistent parsing, which makes it especially well-suited for technical documentation.

#Djot for #PHP

Finally ready to be used.

Check out my post about it: https://www.dereuromark.de/2025/12/09/djot-php-a-modern-markup-parser/

You can also play around in the sandbox and get a feel of it.

Is it the markdown successor we have been waiting for?

Oh wow, a website served from #Neovim #buffers on a relic ThinkPad! 🚀 Because who needs cutting-edge server tech when you can cobble together a shameless hipster project with #Lua and #Djot faster than Nginx, right? 😂 Apparently, turning text editors into web servers is the new cool—move over, actual web developers. 🔧💻

#Markdown Is a Disaster: Why and What to Do Instead
https://karl-voit.at/2025/08/17/Markdown-disaster/

Here's my article where I summarize the subtle and no so subtle downsides when you choose Markdown for your information instead of a different markup syntax that doesn't come with all the downsides of #MD.
