On: Don’t Use Markdown for Documentation

[nils-m-holm]

Troff is not that bad, really! I started typesetting my books in Troff (even with my own macro package), then tried TeX and Lout, and I think I'll actually return to Troff, if I should decide to write another book. Simplicity is good!

Oh, and I have used homebrew markdown preprocessors to write books (e.g. http://t3x.org/s9fes/edoc.html). Great fun!
