consider writing in markdown and transforming via pandoc.

If you dislike TeX, use troff. If you dislike troff, just use
microsoft word, because you're wrong.
Markdown is a crippled pile of meta-shit; it is not a typesetting
system. If you're producing anything other than blog posts in
markdown you're fucking up.

And because I'm really married to the idea of this going into the
main branch of surf, here's a diff that does the same thing, but
doesn't make Arg a struct, if it should happen to please Tox.

Markdown. The design that I propose is simpler and more strict. All
tags work the same way. The input is close to a data structure, and it

This just looks like POD all over again.
Which is fine, as POD works well, but can someone explain to me why we
need sixty thousand metamarkup languages? You're never going to make
one that sucks less. Metamarkup is a sucky idea in the first place.
Markdown sucks because it only implements a sub

It does have lots of extensions that I miss in the standard Markdown,
so that’s a good point. Still, I’d like to have a minimalistic tool
for this that is 100 % based on functions.

Good point, and that might be true, but I want to do it in Go because…

most users would want the up key to move the page up and the down key to
move the page down.

Personal taste I guess. There are existing keybinds for
