@rastinza Okay, I've taken a peek at it now.

The two plugins in question are: Obsidian Columns (OC) and Multi-Column Markdown (MCM).

They have both pros and cons.

OC uses code blocks, and you can nest them to have columns inside columns. I'm not too fond of this approach much because if you have a genuine text or codeblock inside a codeblock, the normal text formatting or syntax highlighting is gone in editing. It's just a bit annoying to work with in editor mode. But hey, nested columns! The output is in divs.

MCM uses `=== keyword` type coding, so not codeblocks. It goes like `=== start-multi-column: name` and then right below it a small codeblock for some config settings, and then stuff like `=== end-column ===` and ending with `=== end-multi-column`. Rendering was a slight bit buggy but ultimately came out right. I likey because formatting of your content stays intact, but no column nesting possible inside them. And yes, this ended up as a div as well.

@rastinza No idea, I've not checked the details yet. Maybe nested divs. Because you can nest the columns into columns as well.

I'm seeing 2 different multi-column Obsidian plugins in the plugins list. They both look interesting. I might fiddle with them later today to get a feel which one of them is the more logical/easiest to use. Would be nice to have multiple columns possible in markdown. I wouldn't always need it but it's nice to have an option there!

@sgryphon I'm not sure I understand that comparison. An email service versus federated social media?

@geekmomprojects @oskay @Blenster @gever @oskay@mastodon.technology

Don't feel bad. Thankfully moving between (Mastodon) servers here is reasonably easy. We're not locking you in like those commercial alternatives! 😊

I hope many people decide to stay around on Qoto, though. We like the extra activity!

@Acer Look up 'picket fence' in an image search to get a clear idea.

@lydiaconwell They had talks about it, but not sure how they intend to do it without keeping their commercialist grasp on it.

@lydiaconwell Conflict creates interaction (of the not so nice kind, but still interaction) means people keep coming back to argue.

Completely a bonkers way of socialising if you ask me.

@Exsangus Neat! That's a lot of panels looks like, because that's sure a lot more power generation than my roof can deliver. :D Once you hit a perfect parabole graph, you'll feel sooooo great! :D

@faustzero1 The only static site generator I know of is Hugo. Works with markdown files.

@StroomAfwaarts Yeah, that's the thing... personal aircraft doesn't need roads either. ;)

But gods.. my kingdom for a freaking teleporting technology! People often say it is about the journey. Fuck that, it's all about the destination for me! :P

@phoenix

@phoenix You're handily overlooking the fact that every one of them are possibly capable of having small personal aircraft, making those big roads obsolete. :P

Not that I'm disagreeing with the rest of your post though. ;)

@peterdrake My best guess is some administrative papers. We have that too over here written on boxes with a bunch of administration.

@academicalnerd Hated those days as well. If a professor would put a test on a certain day, the whole class would protest because there already is another test on that day.
