I regularly see the phrase "all Xs are Ys, but not all Ys are Xs" in teaching material. Even material for children!
I have to re-read it every time. I very much prefer "Y is a more general category than X" or "X is a subset of Y".
Do people find this phrasing helpful, or is it poor pedagogy?
Today I learnt that you can mix HTML inline in markdown! For example, the following is valid.
Foo <hr/>
I'd assumed that you needed HTML separately, like ``` blocks, but no: https://spec.commonmark.org/0.31.2/#raw-html
Admittedly HTML is very restricted on most sites, but it's helpful for SSGs.
@tristanC That's an option! There's often cases where you know what the user wanted though, so you can provide a sensible AST that the toolchain can handle.
For example, a malformed string literal can still be parsed a string so type checking etc can be helpful.
