File over App:
File over app is a philosophy: if you want to create digital artifacts that last, they must be files you can control, in formats that are easy to retrieve and read. Use tools that give you this freedom./blockquote>
The author of this uses, and gives as an example, Obsidian, a markdown processor, but as I look at my archives,and things I want to fix in my markdown processing workflow, I'm realizing that as much as I like it, even it is prone to dialects that can change formatting over the years.
It's interesting how fluid the notion of being able to deal with legacy files is...

[edit history]
I have my own markup language I use for my blog. It's not the final archiving format (the resulting HTML is) as the syntax is subject to change (and has over the past few years I've been using it).

Yeah, I need to get back to editing and deploying the code for here because I've found a couple of bugs in the parser, and need to clean up a few precedence warnings.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your
comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel
they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
