I think that horizontal scrolling via the keyboard is far from an
edge use case for a web browser that already depends so heavily on
the keyboard,
Yep. I've patched surf for horiz scrolling several months ago and shared

Hi everyone,
I wrote my bachelor thesis using LaTeX and now I am going to write my
master thesis. I would rather avoid TeX and everything TeX based this time.
The PDF output of (La)TeX is awesome and I really like that part of it, but
writting itself was painful, since the language is pretty

I want to use Markdown for writing university documents, but it lacks

HTML is not something I would choose for output format, since it doesn’t
know the height of a page.

consider writing in markdown and transforming via pandoc.
If you dislike TeX, use troff. If you dislike troff, just use
microsoft word, because you're wrong.
Markdown is a crippled pile of meta-shit; it is not a typesetting
system. If you're producing anything other than blog posts in
markdown you're fucking up.

I'm using a Markdown-like language to write my phd thesis in LaTeX (I

something, but at this moment is a very ad-hoc thing.

This just looks like POD all over again.
Which is fine, as POD works well, but can someone explain to me why we
need sixty thousand metamarkup languages? You're never going to make
one that sucks less. Metamarkup is a sucky idea in the first place.
Markdown sucks because it only implements a

It does have lots of extensions that I miss in the standard Markdown,
so that’s a good point. Still, I’d like to have a minimalistic tool
