Plain text typography Pseudo-typography, mind you. What I'm trying to share is that plain text can be quite EXPRESIVE I tend not to do much of that in this phlog. For I often prefer to just write the whole thing and then use the fmt command to, format the thing. But recently I have made the mistake of taken two courses of Philosophy. These are given by the Spanish ---as in Kingdom of Spain--- public distance university, the UNED. In theory, if I pass, etc, these are valid to obtain a degree in Philosophy. In practice, let's see what happens, I just want to learn and have fun. But I'm digressing. The thing is that our professor wants us to ellaborate our own "handbook", so to say. So, I'd say, fun!, let's do it in plain text. Just a lot of files and folders and all the text in plain text. Only in UTF-8 as you need that to write in Spanish, which I wantonly prefer. So let's say I have this guy Pythagoras, and I want to emphazise Virtue is Harmony. See what I just did? Just white space, and there it is. But I can do side notes-> Like there's no -> This is a side note tomorrow. Footnotes are easy too(1) the only thing that you don't want them to be far away down. So for simple "notes", I'd rather use side notes, and keep the footnote for when they tend to be a little larger. Should I spare you the obvious stuff? ===================================== Nay, I'd rather be Captain Obvious that, I don't know, making you miss something. Well, I think you just saw a title. I Or, better said, a header. I prefer some form of underlining to the markdown way but, that's just one way of course. Lists are easy like 1 2 or 1. 2. or even * something * something something * And you can get a fancy definition list with no trouble Gopher: Our lovely protocol to share files contained any kind of information. SDF: A home for nice people sharing stuff over the years, for the good of other good people An Abstract? Well, easy Abstract A half thought phlog post exposing in a overly lazy way how to format stuff in plain text so you can use a sort of ty- pography to make your texts easier to read and retrieve information. Tables? Well, it they aren't too fancy? Year XP's gained HP lost ------------------------------------- 2020 4 24 2021 14 7 And so on and so forth Links? Just us a sidenote or footnote, or whatever. It's plain text, so as long as you can determine them fast, just do your copy+paste. Images? Well, just "link" the file (See image.png in folder such/such or whatever) Hope that helps. Just don't go too fancy if you'd later want to add that into LaTeX or some text editor or whatever. Have fun! Bosque (1) Some footnote. (2) Another footnote. Theese notes are too far away down. I shoud've placed them at the end of a section or something.
