Markdown Is Not LaTeX

Strange rant. From a user perspective, it is very handy to have a very simple text format in which you can occasionally insert complex mathematical expressions. And at the same time, it's perfectly okay for most implementations to NOT support this syntax

I guess you qualify as one of those sycophants I spoke of towards the end.

If you want to persuade people of your point then this kind of reply isn't going to do a good job of that.

I’m an engineer, not an influencer.

Learn the difference by dealing with substance, not personability.

You should lead with substance then. Instead you joined the discussion here with a polemic statement.

Idiotic take. Clearly you didn’t click on the link.

Besides, I updated the article for clueless people like you, so give it another shot.
