So, I went with more > moderate wording. =20 Good call. That whole sentence is a mess. When I wrote "anyone able to re= ad text", I intended to say something like "if a computer can render the te= xt". However, that reduces to "if a computer can render it, then you can v= iew it" which isn't very impressive. When you say Org markup is "human-readable", I see that coming from it bein= g plain-text. It requires no special tools. It's readable like "accessibl= e, easily obtained". I'm contrasting that with Jupyter Notebooks. I think= this aspect of readability is something we should emphasize. Readability also means that what's written can be inferred without referenc= ing other sources. It's readable like "apparent, easily understood". I th= ink this is probably what you're thinking of. What do you mean by "human-readable"? -- Matt Trzcinski Emacs Org contributor (ob-shell) Learn more about Org mode at https://orgmode.org Support Org development at=C2=A0https://liberapay.com/org-mode
