@eamon Markdowns can get far too complicated for their own good, and Gemtext looks like a nice lightweight approach :-)

But a while ago, I was introduced to the idea of breaking up sentences/paragraphs in a source text document into their 'semantic parts', so that when you made edits it was easier to see in the diffs just what had changed.

the idea of

it was easier to see in the diffs
just what had changed.

The Gemtext approach would make that difficult, because there are no hints available to the editor that I'm aware of that would preserve this.

Interested in opinions and comments about this :-)
