Does anyone have any opinions about supporting HTML tags vs Markdown? Please see the comment I just made at https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues/1320#issuecomment-70260091

balo bencomp jeffspies_ JonathanNeal LyndsySimon mjturk shauna skay yoh ^^
14:29 skay
pdurbin: markdown
14:29 pdurbin
:)
14:29 bencomp
I write much more markdown nowadays
14:30 pdurbin
me too
14:30 bencomp
can't really remember writing HTML in forms
14:31 pdurbin
bencomp: not even back in the day?
14:34 balo
markdown+1
14:34 balo
the editors are also more consistent with it
14:34 balo
i mean the wyswyg editors
14:35 pdurbin
yeah
14:35 pdurbin
there's even http://commonmark.org now if we want to be super strict about markdown input
14:37 bencomp
pdurbin: if I did, that's too long ago. Oh wait, I did on http://www.discogs.com (but that is no longer allowed)
14:37 balo
D
14:37 pdurbin
huh. so they used to support HTML input but they dropped that feature in favor of Markdown? that's what I'm suggesting, basically

14:38 bencomp
no, all formatting is disallowed on Discogs
14:38 pdurbin
oh
14:39 pdurbin
we want to allow some light formatting
14:39 bencomp
it was just one memory of me putting HTML in a web form
14:40 bencomp
why?
14:40 * bencomp
should read the full issue description
14:41 pdurbin
bencomp: well, being able to add hyperlinks, for one thing
14:41 pdurbin
making some text bold
14:41 pdurbin
adding bullets
14:41 pdurbin
in my mind, this is the stuff Markdown is good at
14:42 bencomp
good enough for me :)
14:43 bencomp
why are you (plural) using a Google doc linked from a GitHub issue to link together issues that are or should be on GitHub, by the way? :^)
14:44 bencomp
e.g. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VXac5Eqx1LDVWvMogf4EYVfxv-9gIavgAnL4x_esiTI/edit
14:44 pdurbin
buh
14:45 pdurbin
not sure about that doc in particular but I like Google Docs as a collaborative scratch pad
14:52 bencomp
I'll get off your back now, but although it is a nice collaborative scratch pad, the status of any Doc in relation to the GitHub issues isn't always clear to me. (I'm writing a personal development plan in which I propose to learn more about business information management… :))
15:33 pdurbin
heh. no worries. it's all good

I saw I was mentioned in here, but I cleared the notification before I saw the date and time. Anyone need something?
21:45 pdurbin
LyndsySimon: we were talking about whether we should continue to force people to use HTML for markup or if we should support Markdown: http://irclog.iq.harvard.edu/dataverse/2015-01-16#i_15391 . Does OSF support Markdown?
