Abandoned features

List of feature that was considered but doesn't include in the end

Old name

  1. Lazy markup language (LZML)
  2. Unoriginal markup language (UOML)
  3. "Original" markup language (ORML)

Final name: Orange markup language (ORML).

Tags alternative syntax

HTML:

<tagname attribute="value">content</tagname>

ORML:

[tagname(attribute="value") content]

HTML:

<tagname attribute="value">

ORML:

[tagname(attribute="value")]

This is too cluttered and verbose to type.

More alternative tags

HTML tags ORML alternative tags Description
<h1>...</h1> to <h6>...</h6> [= ...] to [====== ...] Defines a headings (the number of = character to the header level is correspond)

Become redundant by the new [= ...] extend tag

HTML tags ORML alternative tags Description
<div>...</div> [/ ...] Defines section in a document
<address>...</address> [@ ...] Defines contact information for the author/owner of a document/article
<abbr>...</abbr> [A ...] Defines abbreviation or an acronym
<cite>...</cite> [T ...] Defines the title of a work
<code>...</code> [C ...] or [$ ...] Defines piece of computer code
<dfn>...</dfn> [D ...] Specifies a term that is going to be defined within the content
<kbd>...</kbd> [K ...] Defines keyboard input
<blockquote>...</blockquote> [Q ...] or [> ...] Defines section that is quoted from another source
<samp>...</samp> [S ...] Defines sample output from a computer program
<var>...</var> [V ...] Defines variable
<!--OLD_TEXT-->... [~"OLD_TEXT" ...] Defines text that has been changed in a document

These tags are very use-case specific therefore readability more appreciated.

More productivity features

Thematic breaks

Although this feature (---) is a little easier to type that the [---] tag, it's make the syntax more complex.

ATX headings

Become redundant by the [= ...] tag

Block quotes

Become redundant by the quote tables

Footnotes

Although this feature ([: ...]) is a little easier to type that the ["URL" ...] tag, it's make the syntax more complex.

Same with bibliography.
