I was today years old when I learned that markdown languages and other things meant to mean one thing in multiple ways are now under a single codified umbrella called markdown.

Like, it's a new fucking language to learn. But also, I know HTML, CSS, and BBCode, so I will probably learn fast.

As far as I've looked into it. it looks pretty much like HTML. It works like BBCode and tbh I have no idea about CSS so whatever, but it sure looks old school enough for me to get a handle on, which is great. #markdown #css #learningCode

@ljoonika also I’d proffer this — Asciidoctor — if you want

I’m biased toward it rather than markdown, but I think markdown is winning the popularity because it’s everywhere whereas Asciidoctor isn’t

Worth looking at though

@u0421793 I appreciate the sentiment and I will sure look into this new thing, asciidoctor, but also, I lived in an age when markdown didn't mean anything other than language to make things look this on a user side of things, so it's not that I'm having issues with markdown, the (apparent) current language, but that I didn't even know it's now a language of it own now.

@u0421793 Also if I may ask, why is your username naught but numbers?

@ljoonika hah – it stems from my old university student number when I was doing my MSc ages ago, and I used it for all sorts of accounts since because it’s one word and most online logins couldn’t handle a name + surname with a space in between because we’re obviously still in the stone ages, so I just used it for everything because I can remember it :-)

@u0421793 Heck, I should probably use my student ID from some school I've been into for more things since I've used it everyday and it's so easy to remember, but it actually does make you somewhat suspicious these days, as I assume you've noticed already.
