I started coverting the documentation to Markdown. I don’t think this is a good idea.
- Markdown has no definition lists. The entire IR document is a definition list. I don’t want B3’s documentation to be blocked on this issue. - Markdown’s conversion step makes the workflow awkward. I’m not going to use some Markdown editing app - that will prevent me from being able to properly format code examples. I need a code editor for that. I think that this documentation should be HTML. I don’t think we should expend a lot of energy to formatting it nicely. The point of this document is for it to be read by engineers while they hack code. -Filip > On Jan 29, 2016, at 10:12 AM, Timothy Hatcher <[email protected]> wrote: > > I also added: > > https://webkit.org/documentation/b3/air/ > <https://webkit.org/documentation/b3/air/> loads > /docs/b3/assembly-intermediate-representation.md > >> On Jan 29, 2016, at 10:05 AM, Filip Pizło <[email protected] >> <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: >> >> Thank you!
