It must be a pain to make a text box with the ability to add bold, italic, heading, etc. you know? All the bold text, italics, and headings would need to be saved in a database column to be retrieved later in their correct positions.

I don’t know, I am doing internship learning C# ASP (started 2 months ago), and just got a “Shower Thought” while making an edit post function.

    Markdown has one huge adventage, if you remember bit of syntax you can type it right from your finger, it’s a great speedup for me. I personally prefer orgmode but noone uses that in XXI century.

    • Yeah, but that’s not what we’re talking about here.

      RTF has many more features than markdown can reasonably support, even with your personal, custom, syntaxes that no one else knows :/

      I use markdown for everything, as much as possible, but in the context of creating a RTF WYSIWYG editor with non-trivial layout & styling needs it’s a no go.
