huh? markdown is fab for writing docs. Pandoc converts .md to .pdf (via pdflatex) or to .docx to satisfy publishers https://kieranhealy.org/blog/archives/2014/01/23/plain-text/ …

cant take any argument seriously that argues for docx, pdf, and markdown. the 3 worst formats on the planet.

Markdown is a non-standardised markup format, docx markup is a nightmare. PDF is a display format that can't easily be structured.

ok, I'll bite. Tell me an ace format that we should all be using, and is simple enough for us tex/md people to edit in any OLD editor.

ok. so now tell me which journals accept html, versus those that still require .docx/pdf. Nothing against html, its almost as nice as tex.

ok, but when I'm writing prose, writing .md is a ton easier than raw html.
