is markdown for machines or for humans?+
Markdown is for humans first, offering an easy way to format text. However, its structure also allows machines to efficiently parse and transform that text into other document types.
is it cheaper for an LLM to use/read a markdown?+
Using Markdown with an LLM can be more economical because its straightforward syntax reduces the complexity of data ingestion. LLMs can quickly interpret and extract information from Markdown without needing to process intricate formatting or embedded objects, which can be resource-intensive.
what will happen if I will paste markdown in MS Word?+
If you paste Markdown into MS Word, the text will appear exactly as you've typed it, including all the Markdown symbols (like asterisks for bold or hashtags for headings). Word doesn't automatically format it based on these symbols.
what will happen if I will paste markdown in Wordpress' editor?+
When markdown is pasted into the standard WordPress editor, it is usually treated as regular text and its formatting symbols are displayed directly. For the markdown to be interpreted and rendered correctly, a markdown-compatible editor or an extension specifically for markdown parsing would be required.
