Pandoc a universal document converter

If you need to convert files from one markup format into another, pandoc is your swiss-army knife. Pandoc can convert between the following formats:

(← = conversion from; → = conversion to; ↔︎ = conversion from and to)

Lightweight markup formats

    ↔︎ Markdown (including CommonMark and GitHub-flavored Markdown)
    ↔︎ reStructuredText
    ↔︎ AsciiDoc
    ↔︎ Emacs Org-Mode
    ↔︎ Emacs Muse
    ↔︎ Textile
    → Markua
    ← txt2tags
    ↔︎ djot
    → BBCode

cmark

cmark is the C reference implementation of CommonMark, a rationalized version of Markdown syntax with a spec. (For the JavaScript reference implementation, see commonmark.js.)

It provides a shared library (libcmark) with functions for parsing CommonMark documents to an abstract syntax tree (AST), manipulating the AST, and rendering the document to HTML, groff man, LaTeX, CommonMark, or an XML representation of the AST. It also provides a command-line program (cmark) for parsing and rendering CommonMark documents.

Advantages of this library:

• Portable. The library and program are written in standard C99 and have no external dependencies. They have been tested with MSVC, gcc, tcc, and clang.
• Fast. cmark can render a Markdown version of War and Peace in the blink of an eye (127 milliseconds on a ten year old laptop, vs. 100-400 milliseconds for an eye blink). In our benchmarks, cmark is 10,000 times faster than the original Markdown.pl, and on par with the very fastest available Markdown processors.
• Accurate. The library passes all CommonMark conformance tests.
• Standardized. The library can be expected to parse CommonMark the same way as any other conforming parser. So, for example, you can use commonmark.js on the client to preview content that will be rendered on the server using cmark.
• Robust. The library has been extensively fuzz-tested using american fuzzy lop. The test suite includes pathological cases that bring many other Markdown parsers to a crawl (for example, thousands-deep nested bracketed text or block quotes).
• Flexible. CommonMark input is parsed to an AST which can be manipulated programmatically prior to rendering.

I needed a markdown editor which just does its job in Xorg so

TII (Today I installed)

ghostwriter

markdown editor

I have transcribed all of the docs as an exercise! (I will not copy paste those here though ')

I've also installed

Je crois que j'ai fait le tour de toutes les applis de prise de notes #markdown et je n'en ai pas trouvé une qui soit :

- open-source
- local first (fichiers .md sur le HD)
- avec une option de synchro
- avec une app android, iOs, linux et Mac.

Les plus répandues :
- obsidian : pas open source, et je la trouve pas très "forte" en édition md (genre les tables)
- joplin : renomme les fichiers, un enfer.
- notesnook : fichiers dans un "vault".

Today I learned!

#TIL this handy command to read a #Markdown file on your terminal:

pandoc your-file.md | lynx -stdin

Yep, you need to install #Pandoc and #Lynx.

If you know a better solution, please, share it! 🙏

Everything on my beloved #FreeBSD tiny box!

#RunBSD 🦾

Because everything is written in regular files, the editor can autocomplete citation keys without any special tooling - they are just sections in another file. This kind of interoperability is why simple tools like text files and #ssg are so great.

I'm not a fan of hosting it on GitHub anymore, but there are already links in various places that I can't update, so this is the reasonable thing to do.
