    Markdown circa 2004 has displaced most of the others today, but it explicitly never claimed to be the first such human-readable format; indeed, AsciiDoc predates it by about two years, reStructuredText a year before that and MakeDoc about a year before that. For that matter, some of the concepts popularized in Markdown might not have existed at all were it not for earlier ancestors like 2002's Textile.

    But a forgotten rich text language predates most of these, with the interesting property in that much of the markup is encoded using trailing whitespace, almost a fusion of in-band and out-of-band styling systems. If the whitespace is munged, it's largely just a text document (like those particular Mac files if you pass along only the data fork); but if it passes through intact, an intelligent converter can [05:30] schestowitz use attributes encoded in the whitespace to style it into HTML. That system is ProleText.

    Making Code Faster
    [05:31] -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-www.tbray.org | ongoing by Tim Bray Making Code Faster [05:31] schestowitz
    [05:31] schestowitz

    Ive enjoyed writing software for 40+ years now. Lots of activities fall into that writing software basket, and heres my favorite: When you have a body of code with a decent unit-test suite and you need to make it go faster. This part of the Quamina diary is a case study of making a piece of the library faster.
