The HTML text is also identical enough to the Markdown text, though it’s a bit annoying to have it available in two versions. (Yes, a bit hypocritical of me, as mine (MirOS) is available in three ver‐ sions (original UTF-8 plaintext, HTML, ASCII plaintext), but that is because the person who copied the original to the OSI website’s licence list fucked up badly, and others followed, so the subsequent HTML was a first attempt to make it easier for others to copy it, and the ASCII version was because some people still live in the 7-bit US-ASCII-only world… so it’s not my fault and nothing I’d have chosen to do if not for external incapabilities.) bye, //mirabilos -- I believe no one can invent an algorithm.
