I wonder if it is politically controversial to be seen as "supporting"
a markup language, though, the antithesis to WYSIWYG... Even if it is
a quite new and minimal markup language, that doesn't pretend to be
even close to full-featured (like troff or TeX).
I can imagine the reaction among the trolling population, "oh, so
LibreOffice developers don't like their own software, but prefer to
write their documentation in this sixties-style markup language, ha ha
ha".
Actually, the KILLER feature of WordPerfect was always its markup mode.
And the sooner we can get that (reveal codes) working in Writer, the
better!!! Okay, I might be an old-school typist, but imho pure wysiwyg
is an AWFUL idea. Dragging stuff around with a mouse is an awful way of
getting stuff in the right place!
I've spent my own money on WordPerfect in the past, and would do so
again if I had the money to spare - that feature is THAT important to
me. Unfortunately, because MS view WP as dangerous competition, my old
copies don't work (very well) any more. Seriously, markup-mode IS a
killer feature. (Unfortunately, today's vulgate have never known
anything other than wysiwyg and don't know what they're missing :-(
Cheers,
