Eat This Blog

Honestly, I don't know what to make of colleagues (clients, really) who really want to use Word to create HTML files. I've done everything I can to persuade them of the benefits of Multimarkdown and Criticmarkup and they just cannot budge themselves out of their rut.

So now I'm reduced to making an HTML that shows the editing changes, then effecting the changes, and sending both so that they can follow along.

And I absolutely know that if I send Word files, there'll be mistakes in stripping out the awful mess it generates in exporting to HTML.

Big sighs.

@matigo Yeah, but not all of that is down to you exclusively.

@matigo That must be SO rewarding.

@matigo I hope never to need it, but that does sound cool.

Plod, plod, plod, plod.

Soon the end of this particular work trudge will be in sight. But not quite yet.

Plod.

@matigo I suppose modifying @bazbt3 wasn't an option?

@charlesg See you later.

@matigo OK. Thanks for checking into it. I guess he forgot he already had an account.

I tried to send an invitation to someone at ADN. They replied

Alas got invalid API endpoint error :-(

I removed the curly brackets when I pasted in the code. Was that correct?

What's the best way to create and send an invite? This should be a FAA.

@matigo Who has time? Unless I just cross-post.
