At the time scale it is now, it just looks like another dot.

Just edited the example so it looks like a span, thanks for the feedback!

I used Markwhen recently to make an interactive Gantt chart for a proposal to a collaborator and it went swimmingly. (We got the gig!) So, thank you!

For the record, I used the Obsidian plugin to develop, then deployed as static HTML.

> for plainly writing logs , gantt charts , blogs , feeds , notes , journals etc.

So, how would this combine with markdown, for the content within dated blog/journal entries? And how would I use dates as plain dates rather than special markwhen entities?
