depending on your tooling, editing and viewing html won't be a problem in the slightest and opens up all kinds of possibilities
personally very excited to introduce more html into my docs process
i do think html will become popular, both will stay relevant depending on your tooling, editing and viewing html won't be a problem in the slightest and opens up all kinds of possibilities personally very excited to introduce more html into my docs process
A) Who cares? What performance are you even talking about? Number of tokens? B) HTML can contain data, layout, and design within a single file. Markdown isn’t comparable. There will be many situations where Markdown can’t do what HTML, so this is overall a silly comparison.
A) Enterprises for one, e.g Rendering of an HTML page vs MD in an AI IDE or even tokens (compounding costs for a communication doc may be billions in a year) B) True, its a subset, nobody is arguing against it. HTML has overheads in terms of stylings. MD in essence is just a straight arrow. If there is a communication between two points with ultimate low latency way with readability and threshold just enough to have…
MD is usually converted to HTML and then rendered by a webview, which means MD is more expensive.
> compounding costs for a communication doc may be billions in a year
Lol absolutely not. It would be surprising if the "compounding costs for a communication doc" reached $1 a year. I don't think you understand how efficient computers are and how optimized HTML rendering has become.
> As tokens needs to conserved
Not really. No large org is really optimizing for fewer tokens yet.
What do you mean if? The internet is built on html. Markdown is a random flare up of an annoying annotation standard pushed by LLMs. No one used Markdown anywhere near at the scale of html before ChatGPT
Thats a complete reductive idea of MDs. MD was long spawn before LLMs as a need for light weight formatting and easy conversion to different formats. No one used at that scale doesnt mean the absence of the utility for it, as the primary adopters were tech community and that was a layer below the consumer market. Utility obviously stands, the question is, can HTML supersede on that utility side of it in all developer…

So you write a HTML Readme? Markdown is what I write 99% of the time. Unless I am in a rich editor and HTML behind the scenes. HTML is a communication layer. Hardly anyone is writing it directly. Using React etc. or whatever or even LLM.
My point is: what’s the total number of html files in existence? Billions. What’s the total number of markdown readme files.
