gollark: I mean, the compress CLI thing, it works fine apart from that.
gollark: Muahahaha. Now I just need to implement "compress", and also any incremental compression whatsoever.
gollark: This was partly ironic. It is horrible and inconsistent. The rules vary and are not obvious. There is an unofficial standard but not everything supports it, most things add extra stuff on, and you need 3000 lines of parser code to support it.
gollark: It's so consistent, and there are obvious simple rules which let you know exactly what it'll look like, plus it can be easily published on the web and viewed at arbitrary screen sizes.
gollark: This is why I do all my documentation as Markdown.
