|
| The big downside for me is you don't have easy pixel-level

| The problem is that Markdown is not really a markup language,

| markup languaje (HTML /Tex) to be able to specify its layout.
| LordDragonfang wrote:
| The reason it's hard to render straight from Markdown isn't

| Because of that, it 's usually easier to just use the
| abundant html tooling to render it. The problem is that
| _html_ needs CSS to render nicely - and any tool used to
| render CSS+HTML is almost by definition a browser engine.
