It's a Markdown document. I've got a couple dozen photos that I want to insert into the instructions, and I kind of want to make it look better than Markdown. So I'm thinking about word processors. It's been years since I used one. Maybe Apple Pages?</p><p>Meanwhile, the rest of the IKEA parts are coming this week.

Jan Wildeboer 😷:krulorange:<p>In case you don’t know: when writing text in <a href="https://social.wildeboer.net/tags/Markdown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Markdown</span></a>, you add a footnote like this `my text needs this footnote[^afootnote]` and somewhere else in your text you add `[^afootnote]: And this is the footnote`. The colon is important! When this gets rendered and your markdown renderer supports footnotes, they will be converted to consecutive numbers and added as list to the end of the text. The labels will become navigation anchors. Quite cool!

Tomara que eventualmente o projeto engrene.<br><br>O formato que vislumbrou para padronização de diretório comprimido contendo todo o conteúdo vai ao encontro do que acabei pensando também.

Deixemos a formatação "final" para editores que transformarão posteriormente esse conteúdo em um livro, parte de um periódico impresso, ou de um sítio Web maior. Assim como foi, um dia, o objetivo de HTML com CSS, antes da explosão de JavaScript.<br><br>Markdown (Unicode) acompanhado das possíveis imagens, desde que estas sejam em formatos abertos, é algo tão mais simples que nem precisa ser renderizado para continuar sendo inteligível. Portanto parece-me melhor ainda que ODT, PDF/A ou o que seja, tanto para ser redigido quanto até mesmo para preservação do conteúdo produzido atualmente, se não usamos mais tanto papel nem temos tanta necessidade, portanto, de seguir sua representação. O Markdown pode até facilitar a dispensa de telas para seu consumo, havendo disponibilidade de TTS e a descrição das imagens.<br>
