If a format only has bad implementations, there's a problem with the format. @kaveh1000 @martin_eve @RickyPo

Replying to @Protohedgehog

Looks very cool! But what format would you use to cascade to a third-party aggregator?

Replying to @null and @ThomasArildsen

MD is an authoring format, SH is an interchange format. You could use the format to generate the latter. @mfenner

Replying to @null and @ThomasArildsen

In the history section? JATS has poor interoperability and does not work well with Web technology. @mfenner

Replying to @null and @ThomasArildsen

But it could also be used as input to generate SH (albeit not always reliably). @mfenner

Replying to @stevefaulkner and @rdeltour

I thought figcaption had pretty good support by now?

Replying to @stevefaulkner

Part of my motivation is that everything else (math, img, resource links, code…) is wrapped in figures in such docs @rdeltour

Replying to @stevefaulkner

So I would expect a more «unified» experience from the same markup. Also, the tables have footnotes that are… @rdeltour

Replying to @stevefaulkner

…also included in the figure, and it makes «sense» for them to be labelled as a unit. @rdeltour

Replying to @stevefaulkner

I’m happy to use my judgement, I’m happier if my judgement doesn’t break everything :) @rdeltour
