-TechBytesBot/#techbytes-oldvcr.blogspot.com | Old Vintage Computing Research: prior-art-dept.: ProleText, encoding HTML before Markdown (and a modern reimplementation)Jun 13 05:30
schestowitz                                    <blockquote>Jun 13 05:30
schestowitz                                        <p>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.</p>Jun 13 05:30
schestowitz                                        <p>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 Jun 13 05:30
schestowitzuse attributes encoded in the whitespace to style it into HTML. That system is ProleText.</p>Jun 13 05:30

schestowitz                                    <blockquote>Jun 13 05:31
schestowitz                                        <p>I’ve enjoyed writing software for 40+ years now. Lots of activities fall into that “writing software” basket, and here’s 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.</p>Jun 13 05:31

schestowitz“Uncomplicated Firewall (UFW) is a frontend for iptables, which focuses on simplicity,” says Jack Wallen. And, compared to iptables, he says, “UFW is a leisurely stroll through the park.”Jun 13 21:39
