If you like #markup languages and related technologies, we have a Discord server where you'd be extremely welcome.

We discuss development of markup technologies, teaching and learning, theoretical stuff, and general tech. We'd love to see you, whether your interest is in #XML, #DigitalHumanities, #LaTeX, #JSON, #Markdown... We should use our collective experience to improve each of our technologies.

(I also just love chatting with other markup geeks!)

If you'd like a server invite, lmk.

Did you know that in Markdown you can have what ends up as a title attribute on an HTML anchor like this?: [text](URL "title-attribute")

Similar for [text][ref] type links.

[ref]: URL "title-attribute"

I am curious, because I see very few people use it, it has been in the specs since the beginning.

after switching from mac -> windows at the start of this year, i have finally finally Finally found a suitable replacement for Bear 🐻 ( bear.app ) the best markdown note app, which is unfortunately Apple ecosystem only 😕

🎯mkdocs + plugins (mainly: live-edit, pymdownx.tasklist, search, & more) + local host w/ WSL

requires some CLI work & UI not as clean as Bear, but atleast it’s similar! joplin, obsidian, google docs & many others are just unusable

OK, so here’s likely the simplest possible example demonstrating:

• The same route, implemented as both a Kitten JavaScript Page (.page.js) and as a Kitten Markdown Page (.page.md)

• How to persist to the default Kitten JSDB¹ database.

(That first line with the nullish coalescing operator creates a “table” on the database with a default value for the count if it doesn’t already exist.)

Coming soon (likely this afternoon, I’m writing tests and docs and updating examples as we speak)…

This is the sort of thing you’ll be able to do with Markdown pages. Just pop any arbitrary JavaScript you want in the new script block in the front matter and then import and use components as well as plain old JavaScript tagged template variable interpolation (not shown in this example) inside your Markdown.

The screen has all the code (sans the end of the last line of CSS and the closing tags for the <style> and <div> in the Reactions component, which I couldn’t make fit without reducing the font size) for the example you see in the browser with functional buttons that persist their state to Kitten’s built-in default database.

When I say all the code, I mean all the code. There is no scaffolding. Those two files are the only two files in the project.
