00:53 MTDiscord <mark.wiemer> Hey folks, I've been feeling better with the better news. No guarantees, but I don't think I'll be entirely gone for the next few years by any means 😄 I'm still learning how to balance all this.  And thank you all so much for your kind words in this channel. I know it goes against norms and I don't know where many of you live, but I know we are a global community. It has been really wonderful to hear you all chime in.  Anyway,
00:53 MTDiscord I'm curious if anyone has poked around at my initial prototype for the schema validator: https://github.com/luanti-org/docs.luanti.org/issues/310#issuecomment-3787817009. Please do let me know any and all feedback, either here or in the GH issue 🙂
00:55 MTDiscord <mark.wiemer> (and I know we still very much need to actually decide the schema! At the highest level, we have two competing ideas. One is a tag-based system like XML and HTML, the other is a minimal-overhead system like Markdown, TOML, or YAML. I genuinely can't decide and have been thinking a lot, I might post some thoughts in https://github.com/luanti-org/docs.luanti.org/issues/297 soon. I have been reading and reflecting on everyone's
00:55 MTDiscord contributions there, I promise 🙂
01:01 MTDiscord <mark.wiemer> https://github.com/luanti-org/docs.luanti.org/issues/297#issuecomment-3808368807 TLDR strongly considering tags now lol, you can see why I didn't make a final decision earlier

02:03 MTDiscord <greenxenith> Writers are unlikely to want to write with tags, and they are are first target

04:39 MTDiscord <mark.wiemer> agreed, but if we can make it easy to copy-paste, do you think we can mitigate that concern? Do we know of other likely writers that aren't active here that we can contact?

18:54 MTDiscord <exe_virus> The concern is special characters? Haven't seen a section where that's an issue?
18:55 MTDiscord <exe_virus> If it's a snippet, it goes in mono  or similar
18:56 MTDiscord <exe_virus> And markdown renders directly to xhtml, a stricter, easier to parse html (cause it's just XML)
18:57 MTDiscord <exe_virus> So both end in tagged parsable data, the key is always schema and enforcement.   One issue I forsee: using tags and raw XML, allows a writer to pull up vs odium and load a schema plugin, our markdown system wouldn't have that out of the box
