Re: I Blog with Raw HTML
#62I blog with raw HTML too, but I don't blog about it. The "blog about the tools I use" tarpit is somewhat unique, it's like if online chefs were obsessed with creating knife and fork recipes.
What you've never seen a chef on a cooking show geek out about his favorite knives and pans?
Re: I Blog with Raw HTML
#63As other comments mentioned, the content is written in Markdown and rendered in the browser. So “blog with raw HTML” feels like a stretch... that said, View Source in the browser shows the exact HTML document that's presumably hand-written in the source repo [1], so I guess it comes down to the definition of “raw”. It could mean “not pre-processed”.

Re: I Blog with Raw HTML
#64I think OP is defining Raw HTML as an excuse to not bother with themes, style, or clever use of HTML.
Just ignore the markdown and Javascript....
Re: I Blog with Raw HTML
#65I don't know what I'm more offended by, the implication that writing 'raw' HTML is some noteworthy retro skill, or the fact the blog isn't actually written in raw HTML at all, but in Markdown.

I had the same thought. 72kb of JS dependencies from some CDN to render that "raw HTML". If you are going to claim to be a purist, try actually being one first.
Re: I Blog with Raw HTML
#67Am curious. How is this raw HTML if you're using markdown? But on the other side, writing in raw HTML is a fascinating topic I've been very intrigued by. http://john.ankarstrom.se/html/ is a very inspiring post.
I write my blog in markdown and serve it to the browser as such, with a one-liner javascript include to render it in browsers that support that. I like that the "canonical" post source is preserved and served (you can read it with telnet, in a pinch).
Yeh but do you say you write your blog in markdown or 'raw HTML'?

had a look and I like it. More "raw markdown" (what the OP uses too) instead of HTML in web publishing is a good thing - basically because xml syntax is not how humans want to write.
This, combined with git forges pages concept or tilde user accounts makes for nice corners in the webs.

#69And we shall call this Rawblogging.

#70I blog in raw machine code
I don't need anything beyond the shell to echo binary values to the end of my current file.
You can not beat me.
I will publish at least one paragraph long blog post before the end of the month... /s
