Another advantage of Markdown is that it can be written and edited in any software application capable of processing basic text: unlike the proprietary file formats of Microsoft Word or other word processors, Markdown can be opened using a simple text editor.

While its formatting **syntax** is simple, it is also both strict and unambiguous enough to allow multiple writers and editors to work on a single document without unnecessary confusion. It uses ad-hoc formatting signs commonly used in e-mail and chat platforms, and further popularized on blogging platforms, to provide a standardized, human-readable, user-friendly and well-structured document format, suitable for long-term storage and as a basic source for conversions to contemporary and future document formats. Markdown is a product of internet culture. Here you can find a Markdown template with some metadata. Consider questions of scale more than the singular article / item, and questions of production process which will be closely worked out with the design team.Īs the production team we suggest to adopt a markdown workflow. Consider things (where appropriate) like hosting, production plan, and timeline, considering the challenges of bringing together multiple sources. Working within the budget account for materials, printing, buying domain name (if necessary), and coordinating everything so it is going to be producable within cost and time. Also in case of online deployment are (partly? fully?) responsible for the programming.īetter Gimp : Gimpshop PRODUCTION & COORDINATION Organise layout, and consider whether we need special formats (for instance markdown) for outcome in different formats. They will coordinate closely with Production (and visa versa) on design choices in relation to materiality and production processes.
