Markdown

via Assaf 🌴 (@assaf@mas.to): @rauschma@fosstodon.org https://quarkdown.com/ is another good one. I found it easier than Typst.

via Rust Weekly 🦀 (@rust_discussions@mastodon.social): Htmd: A turndown.js inspired HTML-to-Markdown converter for Rust

htmd is a Rust crate for converting HTML to Markdown, modeled closely on turndown.js — it offers the same rich set of options and passes turndown’s test suite. Handy if you need reliable HTML-to-Markdown conversion in a Rust pipeline without shelling out to a JavaScript runtime.

Observable 2.0 reframes the notebook company around Observable Framework, an open-source static site generator for building fast, polished data apps from Markdown and JavaScript. Data loaders run at build time, so dashboards ship as plain static files — a refreshingly simple architecture for data visualization on the web.

MarkChart is a native Mermaid diagram editor for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, with live preview, syntax highlighting, an interactive visual canvas, templates, and Quick Look support for .mmd files. Handy if you write flowcharts, sequence diagrams, or Gantt charts as text and want polished PDF/PNG/SVG exports without a browser-based tool.

Ryan Trimble shares a handful of VS Code plugins he’s used so long he forgot they weren’t built-in — Markdown All in One (paste a URL over selected text to make a Markdown link), Better Comments for highlighted TODO/alert annotations, and Peacock for color-coding windows per workspace. Handy if you do a lot of Markdown authoring or juggle many projects at once.

via Rust Weekly 🦀 (@rust_discussions@mastodon.social): Announcing mdbook-pandoc: a mdBook backend powered by Pandoc. Render mdbooks to PDFs and much more!

An mdbook backend that uses Pandoc to generate output formats like PDF, EPUB, and more from mdbook projects. This is a useful tool for anyone writing documentation or books in Markdown with mdbook who needs high-quality typeset output beyond HTML.

via Mac Power Users podcast: 703: The Portable HomePod Mini Lifestyle: This is a web-clipper type extension … it does this by basically taking the text and the content of the page and putting it into Markdown document.

via rands: Bear 2 is an impressive update that gives an elegant application more personality and utility.

via Rust Weekly: Ubiquity (v0.3.0) - I made a cross-platform markdown editor to learn some Rust. It uses Yew, Tauri, Tailwind and DaisyUI. Currently available on Windows, Linux and the web. (Appears that a Mac version has been added since.)

via Miguel de Icaza: I have a nerd crush on DocC for documentation. So many good decisions, but also, what an amazing list of features that work out of the box.

via Christie Koehler: Oh! That reminds me to share something I’ve found super useful at work. If you’re in a situation where a team’s docs are in markdown spread across a bunch of git repos and you want a unified, searchable interface: mkdocs is your friend.

Like Zola, but for presentations.

Markdown + style = great interactive presentations.
