Eh, while Markdown is nice I think Dokuwiki's syntax is infinitively better for any kind of text that ends up involving programming code. It also has a header syntax that makes sense, albeit rather cumbersome. And it also makes a proper distinction between italics and underline which are two different, standard typographical effects and not the same thing as Markdown seems to believe; and between ordered and unordered lists (let alone nested lists).
Just about the only bad thing is I haven't been able to find an editor that supports it. Probably because, to my knowledge, no self-standing / independent renderer exists for it (the parser and renderer seem to be tightly integrated into the content manager).
It's funny- I use dokuwiki but my only gripe is I wish it was just standard markdown.
Me but org-mode.
Isn't org-mode compatible with markdown?
Org-mode can be exported to many different languages (markdown, HTML, LaTeX) via org-export.
If you're asking whether org mode uses all the same syntax of markdown (which would make them 1:1 compatible) it does not.
For instance, "headline" in org mode is "*", whereas in markdown a top level heading is "#".
Oh, it's a headline? I always treated it like an item.
Now it makes more sense that emacs insists on collapsing them.
Yeah, org-mode prefers using " - " and numbered lists as items. (Although they are also collapsible)
Yes?
this is the way
One of these days, someone is going to invent a confluence alternative that only supports markdown and doesn't have nay of confluences stupidity and it is going to EXPLODE and bankrupt Atlassian.
