    Couldn’t they just use No JavaScript and get the same approach? Or no JavaScript and no CSS?

    I am 100% down for that approach. We even have options now so the entire web doesn’t have to be a fucking Table element.

    Why do we need a whole new standard? That’s never a good approach

      That would be doable, but in my opinion markdown is far easier to understand than HTML.

        They were teaching HTML in Primary Schools and then again in Middle Schools. I have a hard time believing it’s easier.

        It’s not even standard Markdown. Because again - why use a standard when I can make my own???

          Admittedly I’ve only just found out about this today, but my understanding is that it’s meant to be going back to basics since modern web design is so far removed from the original intentions of HTML.

          I’m probably too young for that- I didn’t learn HTML in school, all the programming curriculum was in Scratch or Microsoft Makecode, and I assume it still is.
