I've been formatting books for seven years now and have done hundreds of titles. Have a new book you want to self-publish, but just don't quite know how to prep your book files? We use Vellum for the Mac, and provide formatting for ePub (all formats) and pdf/print.

I've just finished reading this blog post regarding the markdown Syntax by RL Dane
He is also given a brief history of the Computing Hardware and software that he has used ever since he was a little Padawan.
The blog post is just a few minutes to read and you shall learn something good from it.
TLDR is; use {smackdown} markdown for everything you write that needs formatting and be truly platform independent in your formatted text creation.
When you truly understand what he means, it is literal total freedom with formatted text and you don't even need to learn tex or LaTeX, since you will not be writing a book.
When you do that you will have to read my posts regarding tex and LaTeX, and those are blog posts I haven't released.
For me markdown has been important, ever since I was working on waffle bulletin boards many many decades ago
*Bold* _underline_ /italic/ was the syntax that we used back then.
Our waffle bulletin board had a special text formatting routine which Made these codes look like they were actually bold underline and italic when we were viewing those emails.
On the #AmIRC channel on Dalnet we also had a formatting routines for our clients, mine was AmIRC that converted these codes in a similar fashion.
So in true Essence markdown has been with us for a very very long time; we just didn't call it markdown then but we made sure that our text formatting had nothing to do with the computer platform we happen to be typing on.

Do be so kind to explain to me like I'm five, what you've written here in the code block
Do you use a special client to get the markdown language or do you know it by heart?
an email from my medical provider had a weird formatting glitch I've never seen before. (an 'email'/message in their online portal so technically a web page)
The words 'medications you' are smashed together such that the s of medications and the y of you are superimposed on each other, but if I select/copy/paste it's correct
'medications you'

Can anyone recommend a way to automatically format the HTML in a Rails view template that uses ERB?
* prettier can format HTML, but messes up the contents of the ERB tags
* erb_lint can format the contents of the ERB tags and does _some_ limited formatting of the surrounding HTML
* there are a bunch of prettier extension node packages that claim to handle ERB, but as is all too often the case they all seem to be dead
Any advice would be much appreciated!
I am looking for a #text #formatting #tool, #Office #Plugin or magical website that will #convert a fairly normal text format, to a more usable format.
I have old #Books of 72 character wrapped lines, with a newline after each. Paragraphs are single blank lines.
Words may be hyphenated to wrap nicely.
Office would want each block-line -> one single line, with a paragraph break in between.
It doesn't seem hard and it seems common enough problem!
This is what I imagine people's code looks like when they complain about the forced indentation in #python.
And yes, this code is correct.
I took some time to work out the exact #formatting that #Elasticsearch demands. If you think this might be useful, go ahead and boost. If you find any errors or would like to suggest additions, please also post a reply!
Hopefully this can help prevent a lot of frustration and trouble people might encounter and give them a better Mastodon experience!
