It's an experiment I've been trying for about two weeks, now.
I am using whitespace to make written English easier to read.
I put one sentence per line.
Long sentences are broken into multiple lines
according to natural breaks in the sentences.
(I tryto aim for an 80 column width.)
Indentation is used to signal the continuation of a sentence.
Basically, I am treating English like a programmer would treat code.
As an interesting and unexpected corollary,
the English is much easier to edit, and
diffs are way cleaner.
(I'm editing this in an external dedicated text editor.)
What is this mobile thing of which you speak?
But seriously, if your screen can't fit 80 columns, then
what am I supposed todo about that?
My phone can do that easily.
In what way do you consider it easier to read raw HTML than it is to read properly-formatted text? This text displays all of its tags on kbin and it’s a nightmare to read.
It’s also pretentious. Just saying lol
Do you know of another way to preserve white space?
Unless you’re typing code why is it important?
