It is very far from clear that this is a virtue in Markdown. In trying to learn Markdown, I found it an excessively tiresome defect. Whenever I was trying to learn how to produce some combination of effects, instead of Markdown telling me "at THIS point you had something I wasn't expecting", it would just produce incorrect output, defined as "anything other than what I intended". It also meant that two different Markdown processors would accept the same text silently but do different things with it. This is one of the reasons I won't use Markdown. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
