Someone asked me why I don't implement markdown support to the wiki engine instead of painstakingly typing down html tags. I think the reason that I never felt like markdown was worth it, was that the editor I use makes writing html somewhat frictionless, maybe if I lost this, I'd consider adding a parser.

Markdown support adds a thick layer of junk to a SSG, maybe the trick is just to improve html support to the editor you use, and keep the site simplier.

@neauoire @prahou what editor is that?

i wrote my whole site in HTML directly inside emacs with just a couple custom macros to insert <p> tag pairs and things of that nature quickly. Although I also have some CSS. But I wrote the CSS in emacs as well, and the site explicitly was designed to still be totally readable without CSS.

I like your quick table insertion, i was writing those by hand

@wyatt @prahou it's called Left, it's not designed explicitly for html, but it can inject text snippets and moves the cursor to the first $ it encounters, I think that behavior might be reproduceable in emacs without trouble :)
