markup vs Markdown
WYSIWYG never worked for me...
A long time markup user, HTML immediately attracted for general document formatting, as well as web pages.
Markdown disappoints, for my purposes:
- Inconsistent implementations across platforms
- Missing important (to me) features
- Not IMO simpler than html, once adding refining kludges
- Daunting (also IMO) theme customization:
While no fan of CSS syntax, clear separation of theme design from document elements facilitates maintainability.
Template engines help break HTML code into components for reuse across multiple HTML files.
Template engines also support passing variables into those components.
- Browseable pages from template engines require compiling, e.g. by client-side JavaScript.
- GitHub Pages are static; template engine must run client-side.
- Since HTML Imports (e.g.
<link rel="import" href="/path/to/imports/stuff.html">) is
deprecated,
<template>
HTML gets loaded by using <script> to load Javascript, which loads HTML using fetch().
