Yeah, everyone had a homepage. :D I had a few. But I don't remember what I used to write them in. People were so into "just use Notepad". But that was a terrible idea for many reasons. If I remember right, I might have been using Mozilla Web Editor that was builtin into a package.

Later I used Vim on both Linux and Windows and even DOS.

I have been experimenting with porting a Discount Markdown implementation by David Parsons to DJGPP 12/13 years ago. I think I even posted a working binary somewhere. I don't have it anymore, but it should compile out of the box with very little tweaking. And it might be even simpler than halibut.

Haha. That's so true. :)

It's cute. Might give it a chance if I had a need for one site webpage or similar.

Always brother. :)
