programming in markdown
markdown is inclusive AF![^a11y] it is a plain-text format that never fails [^violate].
further markdown can include any programming language within its contents.
effectively, markdown files are literate programs that really on code and narrative to cooperate. markdown is a global minimum for teams of people with different language literacies.
a Tab separates markdown code and narrative, pidgy uses this nearness to create python representations of the markdown. with code and narrative so close, an author can fluidly switch between the writing modes capturing more of their process.
