To me that page is very confusing. Feels like I'm reading a single person's private brainstorm notes rather than a documentation.



FYI: New ideas first presented are always very confusing. Let it sink in. Note: The page is public - thus, if I may return the favor - change the confusing private to public in your sentence (or is that "knee jerk private commentary?").

PS: Let me add more context - The top-linked Textile Markup Language is a documentation website. Textile markup/down is history and FAILED - thus - the next step is what can we learn from the fail - what are the good, bad and ugly parts? what was missing and so on. Now how do you "fix" textile (or markdown)?


Conversely, if you're already familiar with something, it might make sense to you despite being poorly written and unconvincing.


What argument(s) are unconvincing to you?

For more context let me add / point out the side-by-side samples (texti vs markdown vs latex vs wikipedia markup), see https://github.com/texti/texti.github.io/tree/master/samples using the Wikipedia article on markup as an real-world sample.

Can I return the favor and compliment your comment and writing style?
