13:04 MTDiscord <exe_virus> I hope we end up being both a reference, and a how to, but that's just me

13:43 MTDiscord <exe_virus> Adoc is good in theory, but the syntax is not that professional yet, basically it needs reworked and designed so that the syntax is cleaner and less verbose, but all the functionality desired is there at least, unlike markdown which has the opposite problem
13:46 MTDiscord <Benrob0329> To be honest, calling a long established  syntax "Not professional yet" sounds like "I don't like it so I'll call it bad"
13:48 MTDiscord <Benrob0329> The project started in 2002. People have used it to write books. I'm also using it to write a book. It's plenty professional.
14:05 MTDiscord <Benrob0329> Just as a guess, I wonder if [source]#Myfoo()# would work
14:06 MTDiscord <luatic> I went with `+stuff+` in the end
14:06 MTDiscord <luatic> perhaps it's more suited for books than docs tho?
14:07 MTDiscord <Benrob0329> That..that doesn't make any sense. Books are neither docs nor non docs
14:09 MTDiscord <Benrob0329> We probably need a couple custom macros to make writing these easier, but we've known that for a while. I could probably use some in my personal writing projects as well but I'm lazy
14:10 MTDiscord <luatic> granted, I phrased that poorly
14:10 MTDiscord <luatic> books are independent of content which may be documentation
14:11 MTDiscord <luatic> let's just say literature/prose
14:11 MTDiscord <Benrob0329> That may be true, but the entire Asciidoc reference is written in asciidoc
15:35 MTDiscord <exe_virus> Something can be used forever and have a great feature set, but still have a bad interface
15:35 MTDiscord <exe_virus> Examples include: the damn C preprocessor "language"
15:41 MTDiscord <exe_virus> Nah, I'd say a good example might be something like directX
15:41 MTDiscord <exe_virus> Or win32 api
16:30 MTDiscord <MarkTheSmeagol> Given that the C preprocessor is Turing complete, I don't think you need those quotes around the word language.
