We shouldn't either work on working for every fancy a single user may |
| 21 |
have. If there's a real benefit from converting markdown to HTML, |
| 22 |
please show me one. |

As far as I can see it, we're either talking about: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
1) replacing semi-readable Markdown with unreadable HTML that will |
| 27 |
require special tools for proper display, |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
2) installing duplicate files (the same data in markdown and in HTML), |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
3) adding some more ugly awful magic that will make binary packages |
| 32 |
even less useful. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
That said, I'd rather see people using *tools* to display Markdown |
| 35 |
rather than converting everything 90s-style. |
