I think overall it’s fine but I have two problems with it:
the syntax for adding a simple line break feels reallt silly. It involves adding two spaces at the end of a line
i still don’t know how to do paragraph breaks inside elements of lists. Tbf I don’t know if this is supported within html but there have been many times I have wanted to do this.
Personally I prefer org-mode syntax.
According to the creator of pandoc, because of its syntax there are some problems when creating parsers for markdown. He created a new markup language called djot which from my what I could understand is a bit stricter about syntax: https://github.com/jgm/djot
As a rube who loves shiny new things I have always wanted to try out djot but am yet to find good support for it.
in html you can put <p> or </ br> inside <li>. in markdown you can do it on most places but you have to play around with line breaks and leading spaces. Here this works:
- qqqq
aaaa
- zzzz
qqqq
aaaa
zzzz
hmm interesting never saw that one.
reading through djot/doc/quickstart-for-markdown-users.md, I see one big issue to implementing somewhere like lemmy right at the top. Needing so many blank lines is annoying in a small textbox/display; you can see less of what you are writing. Sometimes it’s convenient to smush stuff together a bit.
