Which protocol or open standard do you like or wish was more popular?
There are a couple I have in mind. Like many techies, I am a huge fan of RSS for content distribution and XMPP for federated communication.
The really niche one I like is S-expressions as a data format and configuration in place of json, yaml, toml, etc.
I am a big fan of Plaintext formats, although I wish markdown had a few more features like tables.
You're viewing a single thread.
Depending where you use it, but often tables are available in markdown.
markdown table x y |markdown|table| |--|---| |x|y|
Fixed..cos you could only see rendered and not code.

markdown table x y |markdown|table| |--------|-----| |x |y |

Markdown tables are terrible though. Try and put a code block in there. Adoc tables are amazing on the other hand, but much more verbose to write.
6 0 ReplyOh. Good one. Markdown everywhere. Slack always pissed me off for it's sub par markdown support.
12 0 ReplyThere is an option in the settings to use markdown formatting. I haven't tried it but I guess it at least makes formatting less annoying.
3 0 ReplyIt's a (small, shitty) subset of markdown. Slack formatting just kind of sucks.

I'd argue this syntax is difficult to read, especially as it scales
4 0 ReplyThe syntax is only difficult to read in their example.
