Have we gone full circle? From the invention of HTML to the rebirth of plain text with MD to the rediscovery of HTML anbrhe age of LLM?

The facts that this article needs to list the pros of HTML over MD, like inreraction, visual density, etc, is weird to me. Maybe the ahdience is not tech-savvy people but I read it as an unnecessary word salad.

I don’t think so.

It is just realization by author that HTML is also useful tool and MD lacks some stuff.

He didn’t write anything about “now we should stop using MD files”.

It is more like: “I see I can do cool stuff with HTML and found cases where it definitely is right tool for the job”.

It feels like a word salad that's been created to hit a word target because it's also LLM generated. Really not worth spending 5-10 minutes reading some "AI" output.
