We all have pandoc, and <3, and we can all choose between RST and Markdown, and we all know RST is a better spec (as in, there is one), but we keep on coming back to MD. I suspect the reason is that MD does conform to the end-to-end principle. Having a spec is, itself, putting too much intelligence in the pipes. Not having a spec leaves all the intelligence into the ends: The person who's writing (which is very bad at following rules and specs) and the parser program (which can be as elaborate as needed). That is why no spec (and Gruber's attitude) is a feature. |
