Drool – A Lightweight Markup Language (opens in new tab)

This is what it looks like:

    * This demo is also a guide when you view the source of this page at the same time.

  “smart” retract	#include <iostream>
  	
  	int main(){

  }

I'll pass.

edit oops I messed up the tabs.

Name is too similar to Drools.

> For details, please visit a demo which requires your browser supporting Element.prototype.append, async functions, WebP, WebM, fetch API, CSS Variables, CSS sticky position, and full of ECMAScript 6. I recommend you use Chromium or Chrome Canary with two flags, chrome://flags/#enable-javascript-harmony and chrome://flags/#enable-experimental-web-platform-features, enabled.

Yikes.

I think the org-mode syntax is way superior to markdown and should be more-widely supported.

Hey there, dou4cc! I think it's pretty cool that you took the time to share your project here. Is this a Show HN type post? If so, you may want to add a bit more information about your motivations for making this and wanting to share this with others.

It's enshrined in the Drool format that every file has to start with a UTF-8 BOM and contain \r\n line breaks?

This sounds like favoring one text editor at the expense of all others, and not a good one. Is this format designed to be edited with Notepad?

None of the demos are working :S is it just me?

If it meets the guidelines, this might make a good "Show HN".

A better title might be Drool: A Kind of Lightweight Markup Language.

Good luck.

Who needs yet another markup language?

I'd pass entirely on the name.
