I get a kick out of knowing that ESPN’s CMS uses Markdown. (I’m guessing the author mistakenly put a space between the square brackets and the parentheses.)

thomasaw,

@gruber ChatGPT outputs Markdown.

@gruber Markdown is life👌

@gruber I wish Apple would adopt it for Apple Notes though…

@sebbo I don’t.

@gruber too complex for non-tech persons?

@sebbo Yes. Fiddly, nerdy, error-prone. WYSIWYG is correct for Notes. You should look at Bear for a Notes-like Markdown app:

@gruber It's also nice knowing I'm not the only one who uses inline links over reference links.

@EshuMarneedi Oh, inline links seem far more common in actual use. I think there are a lot of Markdown users who never use reference links and might not even know an iout them. (Not me! I use reference links almost exclusively.)

@gruber I’m intrigued on how the CMS will transform that URL.

@gruber I can absolutely verify it does. I used to run the product team for ABC/Disney's CMS. ESPN shares the code base. I led the project to add Markdown support in 2015. (Our CMS validated Markdown, though...)

@chrisfinazzo @gruber I prefer reference links when I write, but I’m not gonna try to get anyone learning Markdown for the first time to understand that whole system.
