       @publicvoit I won’t argue with the notion that markdown is a mess. My own “markdown” app doesn’t do straight markdown (a mix of omissions, incompatibilities, and additions), and I have no intention of it ever hewing to a specific spec. (1/3)

       However, I do think that the core markdown features (headers, lists, links) are _much better aesthetically_ than their equivalents in Orgdown. I was aware of org when I started toying with markdown, and I quite simply don’t like the way that org source looks. (2/3)

       My work on @tangentnotes is going off in its own direction with syntax designed for my specific use cases. That it uses a solid slice of common markdown syntax is not a bad thing, IMO. Languages like these are essentially trivial to extend and modify. Markdown has so many variations precisely because it has so many users. (3/3)

       @publicvoit The https://silverbullet.md/Markdown/Extensions list is a good menu for implementation.@zef, I like that inline Attribute syntax much more than any other one I've seen. What do you think about a `[attr1: foo, attr2: bar]` version?I'm also pretty intrigued by the span & inline attributes as defined by Djot https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/jgm/djot/blob/master/doc/syntax.html#span, though that is much more focused on producing arbitrary HTML than I'm interested in.
