@charles
Un gros avantage du #markdown, c'est que ça peut se maîtriser en quelques minutes. Ce n'est pas vraiment le cas des usines à gaz que sont les traitements de texte en général et Word en particulier.

C'est minimaliste et ça permet de (re)trouver un certain plaisir d'écrire...

What's everyone's favorite desktop markdown-specific editor?

Although I do a lot of my basic document drafting in #markdown, I don't use a dedicated app. Just a text editor (Kate, mainly) and then #Pandoc to render as PDF.

Wouldn't mind exploring a few options, especially those that make working with images a bit easier.

#Linux options, please.

Edit -- I see this list and plan to look at it closer: github.com/mundimark/awesome-m
But would like to hear personal preferences and experiences.

New Kitten release 🎉

kitten.small-web.org

• New: Lovely new icons¹ and new callouts in Kitten Settings²

• New: Markdown now supports attributes and bracketed spans³

• New: client-side `kitten` global with `trigger` function for triggering events on the server from the client. (Useful when streaming client-side JavaScript when using Kitten’s Streaming HTML⁴ workflow. e.g., when you have to use a client-only web API like the Clipboard API but you want to keep all your logic on your server-side page.⁵)

• Fixed: The bound render function returned by `KittenComponent` class’s `component` getter now correctly awaits asynchronous templates. (In Kitten, you don’t have to care whether your templates contain promises. Kitten handles all that for you.)

Enjoy! :kitten:💕

⁵ e.g., See how I use this to implement a copy to clipboard button in the database page of Kitten’s Settings: codeberg.org/kitten/app/src/br Of course, you don’t have to use this and you can just write client-side JavaScript or use the built-in Alpine.js integration. e.g., how I do it on the (older) settings/identity page: codeberg.org/kitten/app/src/br

Continued thread

@3dprinting I've written the first draft of the assembly guide for the FilaBilly Dehumidifier. It's a Markdown document. I've got a couple dozen photos that I want to insert into the instructions, and I kind of want to make it look better than Markdown. So I'm thinking about word processors. It's been years since I used one. Maybe Apple Pages?

Meanwhile, the rest of the IKEA parts are coming this week. So progress is progressing.
