This is novice stuff. I write my blog by modifying the filesystem's binary structure by hand with a hex editor. There is no Javascript or CSS whatsoever and the document uses only elements, attributes, and behaviours that were both described in the original HTML v1.1 DTD and that have continued to appear in every intervening IETF, W3C, and WHATWG issuance since then. Many of the elements are therefore deprecated and…

Real programmers use octal not hex.

What can I say, I modernised. It feels like an age since I last toggled in a bootloader through a front panel. I'm also anticipating a bit of snark (pun intended) from the folks still twiddling data on their magnetic drums using an iron needle. It's all in good humour though, we continue to get along because I didn't switch to SVR4.

This is not a Raw HTML blog. You're sending markdown to the browser and then a bunch of javascript to convert that mark down into HTML...

That might be the reason why this has been submitted (i.e, the author doesn't know what "raw HTML" is).

I used to blog with raw html. In 1999 when I was 12. It sucked. There is a reason why we use things like markdown now. Still, you kids should definitely dig into the fundamentals at least one time and write raw html. Just don't stay there and pretend it's somehow better for you.
