For me Pillar has been the most underused feature of Pharo by far and it makes me sad how little we take advantage of this great technology.
Pillar provides a feature set far longer and more important than markdown but I think as a community we need to not only include Pillar inside our standard distribution but built Pharo around it because it’s the perfect nerve center that unites so many massively popular documentation technologies like Markdown , LaTex, PDF and the usual suspect HTML. The features are there. The only thing remaining is people using them.
