My father set up a Ventura Publisher-based publishing shop in the 80s and it was great. I got to use a laser printer for the first time, retouch photos with Corel Paint and play around with GEM, which I remember had an extremely smooth mous

I made a version[0] of this years ago inspired by something similar in MailChimp using a pasted spreadsheet. Mine converts to Markdown and simpler text. I used it to send table data as plain text emails [0] http://mirrodriguezlom

I opened a JSON created with the Obsidian canvas thing and renamed the long ids with human readable names and it keeps working without re-renaming. So they or whoever uses this format could maybe come up with a way of using some form of hum
