       It's been really unfortunate to see #Markdown become so popular despite its weak abilities compared to Org. Org, which began within #Emacs as a notes syntax, has already solved most of the problems that bedevil Markdown today.If only GitHub had chosen better...

       @mattsheffield Yes. I totally agree and have summarized my concerns with Markdown: https://karl-voit.at/2025/08/17/Markdown-disaster/

       @alienghic @mattsheffield Github and Gitlab are using the same library to render orgdown.Their orgdown support is not bad but they do have very nasty bugs like you need to mark URLs as URLs via [[ ]] instead of rendering URLs without description directly: https://gitlab.com/publicvoit/orgdown/-/blob/master/doc/Tool-Support.orgThey could do better, IMO.

       @mattsheffield I like org too, but it does not have a grammar and it is implemented only in emacs / elisp. not really usable outside the ecosystem. to gain adoption you need a clear grammar and multiple, compatible implementations. https://orgmode.org/worg/org-syntax.html

       @ieugen @mattsheffield #Orgdown (the syntax of Emacs Org-mode) is supported quite good outside of Emacs: https://gitlab.com/publicvoit/orgdown/-/blob/master/doc/Tool-Support.orgAt least I'm working with many non-Emacs tools using orgdown all the time.In contrast to Markdown (which I need to use in my business life), there are rarely any issues with wrong interpretation or similar.So IMO orgdown is by far the better choice as a #LML.

       @publicvoitIndeed, the rendering of (some) "badges" from OrgMode is not correct on Codeberg (but fine in GitHub): https://codeberg.org/marcoXbresciani/TKCompanionAppUnfortunately the main reason why I have to publish my digital garden to HTML instead of keeping it in olain OrgMode.@alienghic @mattsheffield
