Just use restructured text (rST) already.

  No, asciidoctor! Asciidoctor is the most intuitive markup format there is (except maybe Pollen, but that’s a non starter for most people). Also, rST can’t even do bold italics.

    Nothing beats org-mode.

      Yeah, Org mode has supported footnotes since 2008: https://github.com/bzg/org-mode/commit/40a149354c4e5992abac467d69c1438dd1ba750b https://github.com/bzg/org-mode/commit/40a149354c4e5992abac4...

      If only I could have it in any other way than emacs...
      • jsilence 5y ago
        Makes me wonder, since there is evil mode and opinionated Emacs disributions like Spacemacs und Doom Emacs, whether there is a potential for an org-mode focussed and optimized Emacs distribution. Ease of use should be one of the core goals, then.
        • cfjgvjh 5y ago
          I would love that but then again org-noter and pdftools compliment base org-mode nicely.

    Yeah, the lack of nested formatting in rST is crazy. For me it's annoying I can't just do a simple monospace formatted link in pure rST. Sphinx helps a bit with that depending on what you want to link, but it's not really controllable at the rST level like it is in other markup.

    Yes... I do like asciidoc. Think it was lack of easy toolchain in python ecosystem that made me move away from it. Maybe asciidoc3 har improved the situation. Never needed bold italics. :)
