The evangelists for it.

Right.

In Markdown.

And I don't think it should.

That's the thing I'm I'm now I've gone from, there's like the three stages of Markdown for me, the creator of Markdown is this, or there's a third of it of its life at this point where I really felt like it wasn't popular enough.

Then there's the middle third where I'm like, ah, finally.

It's like the people who should be using Markdown are using it, and it's in the places where it should be available.

This is great.

But the last third of its life has been the, I'm like, where's the break?

This is too much.

This is being exposed to people who should have a WYSIWYG thing in front of them.

Yeah, basically.

I mean, I like it.

And there's a fine line between it, right?

And for example, when I made Markdown, there was no syntax coloring for it, right?

It was meant to be self-evident in a text editor with no syntax coloring, just the asterisks and the...

brackets and the braces, they all speak for themselves.

And it still kind of does work that way.

But then with syntax coloring, it's a little better.

And with syntax styling, it's even better.
